Baltimore Orioles vs Chicago White Sox — Tra 8, 2026 | AI predviđanje i statistike

Kyle Bradish rebounds from a rough outing by leaning on his power slider early, spotting his fastball to the upper rail, and limiting traffic; he departs after six innings with seven strikeouts and two runs allowed. Sean Burke matches him the first time through the order but labors in the fifth when the Orioles stack left-handed bats—Gunnar Henderson doubles off the wall and Taylor Ward ropes a two-run single, flipping the game. Chicago’s offense remains largely two-man: Munetaka Murakami turns around a Bradish curve in the third for a solo shot, and Miguel Vargas manufactures a run with a walk, stolen base and RBI flare in the sixth. The Sox threaten again in the ninth—Murakami draws a walk and Colson Montgomery singles—but Ryan Helsley overpowers Lenyn Sosa with 100-mph heaters to nail down the save. Baltimore’s bullpen (Cano, Raquet for the lefties, then Helsley) strands four White Sox runners across the final three frames, while Chicago’s middle relief again cracks: Jordan Hicks issues a leadoff walk in the seventh that turns into an insurance run on Pete Alonso’s sacrifice fly. Defensive miscues by the young Chicago infield extend two innings and elevate pitch counts, a recurring theme in this series. Key takeaways: • Bradish’s strike-throwing (68% strikes) keeps Baltimore off the bullpen merry-go-round. • Chicago’s lineup still searching for on-base consistency; they’re batting .219 with RISP through 12 games. • The Orioles’ depth—Leody Taveras (pinch-double) and Blaze Alexander (late-inning steal)—creates the extra edges. • Momentum stays with Baltimore, who now own a six-game head-to-head streak despite both clubs sitting below .500.
