Orioles’ Kyle Bradish strikes out 10 in 6 innings in his return from Tommy John surgery

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have an eye on next season, and in that sense this was a good night.

Although the Orioles lost 5-0 to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, Kyle Bradish struck out 10 in six innings in an impressive return from Tommy John surgery. Bradish allowed just four hits, although two were solo homers and he exited down 2-0. It was the right-hander’s first start since June 14, 2024.

“Super thrilled with what he did,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said. “He was pretty hyped up.”

Trevor Story and David Hamilton homered off Bradish in the second and third innings. Nathaniel Lowe hit a single in the fourth. Roman Anthony added another hit in the sixth, then was retired as part of a double play.

Bradish threw 81 pitches, 51 for strikes, and had at least one strikeout
