3U/3D for Smith in the first, but had to throw some extra pitches after a foul tip didn't stick in the glove Apparently it will be Sinbaldi piggybacking first and McDougal out of the pen sometime later Broadcast didn't give specifics on the pitch/inning target for Smith

And Getz has said he wants to keep him here (with an understanding that he's earning a bigger payday). Both sides will try to work something out whether it's this summer or after the season.

Don't feel like it's been particularly silent? They're waiting on him to be running full speed, then they'll decide if they think he needs rehab reps at AAA or not. So almost certainly not tomorrow, though do I lean towards them avoiding a Charlotte stint if they can. A return during the homestand feels right, get him into some winnable games at home and then hopefully come out of the ASB full steam ahead.

Shane Smith for WS, TMcD to follow

It's good to keep stacking series wins and sweeps aren't easy against anyone, but it would have been nice to finish off one of these last 3 opportunities. They have had minimal success in day road games all season (4-14 now), so I guess it's good that 3/4 in Cleveland are at night. Looks like Sox will have a 1 game lead going in, leaving with it still intact would be a job well done in my opinion. TEX at least burning through some extra pen arms even if they don't pull off a comeback.

Good time for one of those extra crooked number innings from the Sox

Unfortunately for the O's, your first place Chicago White Sox have remembered how to win a series on the road! They are at a season high 6 games over .500 and 2 games up on CLE. Second time winning 3 straight series this season (SEA, KC, CHC in May). First series win vs. Baltimore since 2021. They finish their Mune-less June with a 13-12 record, securing back to back winning months after a .500 April. Nice job by Fedde and Schweitzer to preserve the pen. Dean Kremer likely being activated tomorrow for the O's, would be nice to finish the sweep and head to Cleveland with momentum.

Yep, two bases awarded for a ball thrown out of play. Rule 5.06(b)(4)(G) in the handbook if you want to get technical.

Would be interesting to explore if eating some of the remaining money could generate some interest for him. He's been a quality vet, but I agree that it would help the roster construction to free up some lefty DH ABs.

Meanwhile in Cleveland...

Always appreciate the hustle Miggy, but it's okay to consider the game situation a bit there.

Clearly just bringing in one of Antonacci's buddies to aid in extension talks? 😉 But more realistically, I think Pallette may have leapfrogged Peoples and they don't think they'll have 40 man room for both.

Some O's fans celebrated Ryan Fuller's departure because they thought the team was striking out too much lol

42 HR from a shortstop who still hasn't played 162 career games

Fellow Springfield native and former teammate of Antonacci

Off day for Sam. Not sure I love Teel leading off, but I guess an extra AB or two ahead of a probable day off tomorrow could be good for him.

He also had a SB. Vielma 2-3 with a HR and BB.
