Dylan Bundy in the Orioles 3-0 against the Rays

That was it. That's what the Orioles had envisioned when they chose Dylan Bundy with the fourth pick in the 2011 draft. Bundy, who had not won a match in six starts this year, was shown very useful for Baltimore on Saturday night. The right-hander bleached the Rays through 7.1 innings and propelled the Orioles to a 3-0 win at Camden Yards.

Bundy located his ball fast, operated the secondary courts and kept the Rays under control all night. He had not thrown anyone, but he only made one batter by eliminating four. Obviously, the zero in the race column tells the story, but the effectiveness of Bundy has been remarkable. He gave only three hits and started the eighth inning with only 96 shots.

Jonathan Villar led down the first goal with a double in the middle of the field. Villar came in third on a simple right Trey Mancini. Dwight Smith Jr. bounced a tailor-made ball for the double and Villar scored the goal. The field player killed a chance for a bigger rally, but the Orioles were first on the board. In the end, that's all they need.

Baltimore added another run to third on a similar type of game. Stevie Wilkerson and Austin Wynns have both chosen to put runners in corners for Villar. Villar rebounded from a second ball in second position, but beat the pitch to avoid double play. Wilkerson scored and the Birds doubled their lead.

The Orioles scored their first two points on balls that did not leave the infield, but the third point came on a ball that left the field. Smith took an impressive home run to the middle of the field to give Baltimore its third round of the game. The solo hit left the bat at 107.4 MPH and covered 429 feet. Smith now has six rounds for the season.

The Rays were nearly scored on the board in the eighth inning. Bundy gave Michael Perez a pair of goals, which forced him out of the match. Shawn Armstrong replaced Bundy and forced Willy Adames to bounce a little dribbler. Armstrong put the ball on the ground and pulled it over Chris Davis' glove and into the right field. Perez came to score and Adames went in second place. However, Adames was out of the baseline and had been called by the marble umpire. Perez was sent back to second base.

It is unclear whether Armstrong has been affected by Adames so far from the baseline. There is a chance that he would have always sent the mail by post, but that did not matter. Armstrong pulled out Brandon Lowe to end the run and the shutout remained intact.

Mychal Givens recorded the last three outs to make his third save of the season. Givens gave Ji-Man Choi a goal, but forced Nate Lowe to sign a double game that will end the game.

The office was doing its job, but Bundy was the story of the night. He worked fast, executed and kept the ball in the yard. He gave only three hits to the best team in the American League and sent an announced public of 15,241 people to the happy home Saturday night.

The question now is whether this becomes a turning point for Bundy. Forget the choice of the first round, Bundy did not look like a major league pitcher in April. He showed tonight that he was still able to effectively launch in the east of LA.

Believe it or not, the game moves fairly quickly when the throwers are effective. The contest lasted only 2 hours and 19 minutes. The match marks the Orioles' first shutout this season and gives them a chance to win the series tomorrow afternoon with John Means on the mound.
