MLB wrap: Hapless Orioles destroy Indians 13-0 image

Baltimore dominated Cleveland on Friday.

The Orioles have the worst record in baseball (23-58), but that didn't stop them from dominating the Indians 13-0 at Camden Yards.

The 13-0 drubbing was the biggest shutout win by a team with a sub-.300 winning percentage at least 80 games into the season since 1923, according to Stats By Stats.

Baltimore was exceptional at the plate and racked up 16 hits to Cleveland's six on the night, and Chance Sisco made things exciting early with a two-run homer in the first inning.

Sisco tallied three hits in the contest, as did two other Orioles. Meanwhile Oscar Mercado was the only Indian with more than one.

Baltimore snapped a three-game losing streak, but Cleveland (44-37) has won seven of its last 10 and sits in second in the AL Central, behind Minnesota.

Studs of the Night

Lance Lynn tallied 10 strikeouts for the Rangers in a 5-0 victory over the Rays.

Miguel Sano hit two home runs in the Minnesota's 6-4 loss to the White Sox.

Duds of the Night

Ozzie Albies went 0 for 5 in Braves' 6-2 win over the Mets.

Whit Merrifield went 0 for 4 leading off in the Royals' 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Highlight

The Dodgers' Max Muncy crushed this.

What's Next?

Yankees (52-28) at Red Sox (44-38) 1:10 p.m. ET — New York has absolutely been hammering the ball and sits atop the AL East. Boston is third in the division, and this is one of the best rivalries in baseball, so it should be a good one.
