Kevin Gausman: Gausman tosses seven shutout innings Saturday

I am merely imitating the Cleveland Indian offense from tonight. With one out, Manny Machado patiently waited Josh Tomlin out and then tapped a single to right. The Indians are in danger of dropping three straight after dropping a 5-2 decision at Baltimore on Saturday.

Though Davis is known for his mammoth home runs, the hustle of the 230-pound slugger helped propel the Orioles past the AL Central leaders.

Gausman will be making just his second career start versus the Tribe and his first since August 17, 2014, in which the Colorado native allowed just one run on a measly two hits over six innings in a 4-1 victory. He came up with runners on first and third in the fourth inning and bounced into a force play at second.

“The offense just didn’t do our thing”, Kipnis said on Saturday night.

Jason Kipnis agreed with Francona and added that the offense just couldn’t do enough against Baltimore’s pitching.

Trumbo was behind in the count, 1-2, but took two straight pitches out of the strike zone before blasting the full-count offering 418 feet over the wall in left-center field.

However, after allowing three runs on nine hits over six innings versus the O’s on May 27, the North Hollywood native has recorded a 0-2 record with a 5.71 ERA in three starts against the Birds. He struck out eight, walked none and allowed seven hits in falling to 6-1 on the road.

Were it not for Davis, his line would have been much better. Sneaking a seven game win streak into July can still be done. I think they have the most runs scored in the American League. The right-hander gave up four hits and walked three but was backed by three double plays.

Pedro Alvarez also homered for the Orioles, who will seek to complete a three-game sweep Sunday.

Double plays, while abundant for the home team, seemed to elude the Cleveland squad, and two missed double plays (one in the first and one in the seventh) resulted in four runs for the Orioles. They Orioles are an outstanding 35-14 at home.

On Friday, Trumbo’s three-run homer off Trevor Bauer set the tone for a 5-1 victory.

The home run was Trumbo’s 29th of the year and it was the first for the Orioles since Jonathan Schoop hit a solo shot in the series opener at Yankee Stadium on Monday night.

Bundy’s performance is a welcoming sight for an Orioles organization that drafted the now 23-year-old power pitcher out of high school with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 MLB First Year Player Draft. He pitched in the minors for the Dodgers until opting out of his contract in early June.

Indians: 3B Juan Uribe was not in the starting lineup after being plunked on the batting helmet above the left ear Friday night. He pinch hit in the ninth.

“The first inning kind of jumped up and grabbed us again”, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said.

“He’s taken a step”, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

Darren O’Day got the crowd of 37,821 going by striking out the side in his first game back from a long stint on the disabled list and Alvarez reached base on a odd strikeout/passed ball/throwing error.

The Baltimore Orioles – who are in the midst of a series with the Cleveland Indians – have placed starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez on paternity leave.

“That’s a really good offensive team over there [in the Cleveland dugout] so that makes it even more impressive”, Showalter said of Bundy’s outing. OF Hyun Soo Kim (hamstring) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie next week.
