Not a must win...but wow...if they can take this game that's HUGE.

Just said this on Twitter: "Rule-5 pick Ryan Flaherty with a HR. I remember when everyone wanted him off the roster. Including myself. Glad he was kept around."

I bet Ryan Flaherty is the first Rule 5 pick to homer in a postseason game in a long time.

I'd love to know who's the last to do so.

Gonzalez looks very good through 4 innings.

Machado HR

I feel like Jones should have caught that ball.

I feel like Jones should have caught that ball.

Without a doubt.

O's two runs are from their 8 and 9 hitters who are rookies.

[Matt P]

Jones, Wieters, and Thome just looked horrible at the plate tonight.

Jones chasing that low and away slider on an 0-2 count again. The team just couldn't come up with a big hit tonight.

Tough to blame the bullpen when the offense only puts up 2 runs.
