The Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, took the lead early with 10 runs through the first three innings, followed by six scoreless innings by the Norfolk bullpen.
Jordan Westburg, the #4 prospect in the Orioles farm system, was 1-for-6 with a three-run homer in the first, his ninth homer of the season and his fourth in the last six games.
Colton Cowser, the #3 O’s prospect, went 2-for-3 with two runs, a double, an RBI and two walks. This was the fourth time Cowser has reached four times safely this season, which leads the team.
The Tides have a quick turnaround with a 12:05 p.m. game today. Norfolk is scheduled to start LHP DL Hall (0-1, 3.38 ERA), the O’s #6 prospect, while LHP Sean Nolin (1-0. 3.24 ERA) is the probable for Jacksonville.
