The Orioles didn’t strike out in the game, the first time they’ve achieved that feat since Aug. 8, 2010.“At one point there, there was no swings-and-misses and tough pitches,” Cora told reporters. “But we better give credit to them, I guess. There was one at-bat there by [James] McCann that was sliders down and in, and he kept fouling off, fouling off, fouling off and then he got a fastball. It was down, the location wasn’t great, and he hit a rocket the other way. I don’t know. We got to take a look at it and se...
