Kyle Bradish shows former organization what it’s missing as Orioles top Angels, 3-1

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:40:06 GMT

Nights such as Wednesday don’t surprise Orioles rookie infielder Joey Ortiz. He’s been watching Kyle Bradish dominate since their college days at New Mexico State.“Ever since I’ve known him, he’s always been, like, the best pitcher I’ve ever seen,” Ortiz said. “The stuff he’s got, to me, it looks unhittable.”The Los Angeles Angels were left largely feeling the same way Wednesday night, as Bradish, once a member of their minor league system, held them to one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings as the Orioles won, 3-1, at Camden Yards. He struck out five with no walks as Baltimore nearly went a second straight night without issuing a free pass.The Angels took Bradish in the fourth round of the 2018 draft, with the Orioles taking Ortiz in the same round the next year. The subsequent offseason, they became members of the same organization, when Bradish and three other young right-handers were traded to Baltimore for starting pitc...

In many ways, Nick Burdi’s first appearance with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night meant more to the reliever than his big-league debut.“This one was definitely earned,” a smiling Burdi said before the Cubs’ series finale Wednesday night against the Houston Astros.When Burdi reached the majors in 2018 with the Pittsburgh Pirates — appearing in two games as a September call-up — the Downers Grove South alumnus knew the promotion was coming, though the timing was a little uncertain.Burdi, a second-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2014 out of Louisville, had been picked in the Rule 5 draft by the Philadelphia Phillies in December 2017 and traded to the Pirates. He missed most of 2018 recovering from his first Tommy John surgery but returned before the season ended.“This one to me was a lot more personal,” Burdi said of Tuesday’s outing, “and it felt like this one was my real debut, if that makes sense.”He pitched the...
