Top of the ninth inning, the Nats trail 8-3. The Orioles are underway, and they got off to a fast start. They lead at the A's 4-0. Of course, the Birds got trounced yesterday, 19-8. How about the Cubs placing right-handed pitcher Colton Brewer on the 60-day injury list because of a broken left hand after he punched the dugout wall in frustration after a bad outing.
