Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish had a disastrous outing against the Chicago White Sox, committing two errors on a single play in the fifth inning that allowed the White Sox to take the lead. Bradish was removed from the game before the start of the sixth inning, having allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks over five innings of work.

Why it matters

Bradish's struggles highlight the challenges pitchers can face when they lose control of the game, and the importance of maintaining composure on the mound. The Orioles' loss drops them to 6-6 on the season, while the White Sox improve to 4-8 with the win.

The details

In the fifth inning, with runners on first and second, White Sox shortstop Colin Montgomery drew a walk from Bradish. Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman threw the ball back to Bradish, who dropped it and lackadaisically followed it back to the mound. Bradish then fired the ball to Rutschman, but it was wide, allowing the runner from third to score and give the White Sox a 3-2 lead. Bradish was charged with two errors on the play.
