Colton Cowser, who went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk, extended his on-base streak to 23 games.

With 11 punchouts tonight, Drew Rom, Baltimore’s #19 minor-league prospect, set a new career-high in strikeouts.. His previous career-best was nine, a feat he has accomplished five times throughout his career, with the most recent occurrence happening last season on Aug. 21 at Harbor Park, when he tossed 4.2 innings of one-run ball against Durham.

Daz Cameron hit his fifth homer of the season, a 107.3-mph blast that traveled 431 feet, the third longest home run hit by a Tides player this season.
