Mullins is 10-for-28 (.357) since the Orioles selected his contract from Triple-A Norfolk, and five of his hits are for extra bases.

Dylan Bundy and Alex Cobb had compete games this season. The last time that the Orioles registered two or more was 2014 with Kevin Gausman, Miguel Gonzalez and Chris Tillman.

Yesterday’s win was the first for the Orioles at Progressive Field since May 29, 2016.

On this date in 1961, left-hander Billy Hoeft one-hit the Senators at Griffith Stadium in a 5-0 win. Bob “Rocky” Johnson led off the fifth inning with a hit and Hoeft retired the last 15 batters.
