Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters! Have you had a restful weekend so far? The Orioles haven’t really. They’ve have been doing a lot of losing lately, including the last two games against the Red Sox in Boston.
Two good things did come out of last night’s game. First, the major league debut of Hunter Harvey. Harvey pitched the eighth inning of last night’s 4-0 loss and did you guys know he can throw 100 miles per hour? After so many injuries it was starting to feel like Harvey would never get this chance. You can read about Harvey’s debut and the rest of the game in my recap from last night.
The other good thing that happened yesterday was when we all learned about an awesome young Red Sox fan. Yes, they exist! You can also read about him in my recap, or in the first link below.
