The Baltimore Orioles had their starting pitcher and center-fielder ejected from last night's game at Fenway Park—
an eventual 4-2 win by the Red Sox. Apparently, MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred has his umpires on hair-trigger status—as the offending HBP ejection was based on a 77-MPH curveball. Anyway,
Drew Pomeranz overcame an
ugly high-pitch count first inning jam, and delivered a solid 5.1 inning performance—giving up just two earned runs. The offense was keyed by emergency 3B
Josh Rutledge (in for an injured
Marco Hernandez), who knocked in two runs.
Dustin Pedroia and
Chris Young got the other two RBIs.
