Orioles bullpen leads them to 5-4 extra-inning win over Dbacks

Despite a failure to cash in on multiple scoring chances, the Orioles were able to lean on their bullpen and buy their offense just long enough to eventually earn a 5-4 win in extra innings over the Diamondbacks.

A storyline coming into the game was starter John Means and whether or not he would be able to duplicate his season debut. Unfortunately, Means did not see the same level of success this time around. His whiff rate dipped from 43% against the Reds to 19% here, and the average exit velocity against him jumped from 83.
