Adley Rutschman was halfway to the cycle this afternoon after four innings.

He wasn’t staying in a spring training game, but he had a day.

Rutschman led off the second inning with a 102.8 mph double to left-center field off Atlanta’s Spencer Strider. He batted from the right side against veteran lefty Martín Pérez with two outs in the fourth and homered to left field for a 2-2 tie in a game that the Orioles lost 7-5.

That was Rutschman’s first double and home run of the spring. Sam Huff replaced him in the top of the fifth.

“Like we talked about, the strike zone awareness has been there,” manager Craig Albernaz told the assembled media. “It was good to see him barrel up some balls and be rewarded for it. He’s been working his butt off with our hitting group and it was good to see that today.”

Chayce McDermott surrendered three consecutive two-out home runs on three pitches in the eighth, by John Gil, Cal Conley and Chadwick Tromp on a sweeper, splitter and cutter. Patrick Clohisy singled with one out and Huff threw him out attempting to steal.

Vance Honeycutt struck again in the bottom of the ninth with a long two-run homer to left field off Sean Reid-Foley, his third this spring in three at-bats after coming over from minor league camp. Huff followed with a 415-foot shot to left.

“It’s so much fun to watch,” Albernaz said of Honeycutt. “Three hits, three homers? I like that.”

Kyle Bradish was stretched to three innings today, throwing 28 of 40 pitches for strikes. He was scoreless in the first and third innings and finished with two runs and four hits allowed with no walks and five strikeouts.

Bradish retired the side in order in the first inning, as he did in Lakeland. He struck out two batters with his curveball and a 95.9 mph sinker. The two previous pitches to Eli White also were sinkers, at 95.8 and 94.8 mph.

Bradish threw nine pitches in the inning, seven for strikes.

The second inning bite Bradish again, also as it did in Lakeland. He gave up two runs again, but also struck out two batters with his slider.

“I thought he was really good,” Albernaz said. “Fastball was crisp, breaking stuff was right where it needs to be.”

Taylor Ward didn’t get back on a Luke Waddell fly ball near the left field warning track that fell for a double, and Pete Alonso couldn’t snag Tristin English’s 65.6 mph liner for an RBI single.

Tromp, the former Orioles catcher, also had a run-scoring single.

Bradish retired the side in order in the third and benefitted from a nice play by Coby Mayo at third base. Mayo made a backhand stop and strong throw.

Closer Ryan Helsley handled the fourth inning and stranded Tromp after a two-out walk. Kyle Farmer reached on an infield single and Waddell bounced into a 6-3 double play.

Tyler Wells tossed a scoreless fifth inning but allowed a double and hit a batter.

The inning began with Gunnar Henderson moving from shortstop to third base in preparation for the World Baseball Classic. Henderson and outfielder Tyler O’Neill leave on Sunday. And Mayo shifted to shortstop, where he backed up Henderson on a ground ball in the hole.

The MASN cameras showed Colton Cowser and Dean Kremer laughing in the dugout. Cowser appeared to be gesturing that Henderson should have let Mayo take charge.

Albernaz said he would have moved Mayo to first base except Alonso was due up.

“Obviously, Pete wanted to stay in, Mayo wanted to get his at-bat, so we wanted to surprise him and have him go play shortstop,” Albernaz said.

The Braves took a 3-2 lead against Yennier Cano in the sixth after a leadoff single, groundout, balk and 3-1 putout. Cano struck out his last batter.

Rico Garcia will leave camp for Team Puerto Rico in the WBC, but not before striking out the side today in the seventh. That’s three scoreless and hitless innings for Garcia this spring.
