Brach fired to catcher Caleb Joseph, a calm and accurate throw given the intense situation and his two walks and fielding error that proceeded it, and Joseph cut down the lead runner, Didi Gregorius, instead of going to first. The 1-2-5 double play executed yesterday by the Orioles in the 12th inning was the first in club history and certainly the first involving Tim Beckham, who’s making only his 16th career start tonight at third base.īeckham alertly covered the bag as reliever Brad Brach fielded Aaron Judge’s comebacker with the bases loaded, no outs and the Orioles clinging to a one-run lead.
