The 36-year-old right-hander punched out six batters on the evening while issuing three free passes. The lone mistake that he made came on a two-run blast that he served up to LaMonte Wade Jr. in the fifth inning. Lynn generated 15 swings and misses on 99 pitches on the night — eight on his heater — while posting a CSW of 28 percent. Lynn now holds a 5.83 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 187/63 K/BB ratio over 177 2/3 innings through 31 starts on the season. He’ll look to finish the regular season strong when he takes on the Giants in San Francisco on Friday.

Bednar was saddled with his first blown save of the season after failing to preserve a one-run advantage in extra innings.

Jackson had a 103.3 mph double and a 101.6 mph home run that traveled 384 feet. He has started five of the last six games for the Orioles, but Jackson Holliday (hamate) is getting close to returning, which could cap some of Jackson’s fantasy upside. Still, if you need a short-term add, he’s worth a look.

Ramos came into this game with a nearly 40 percent strikeout rate and his lowest hard-hit rate in any MLB season. His bat speed is also down almost four mph, with the lowest pull and fly ball rates he’s ever had. It’s still early in the season, so he has plenty of time to correct this, but he should be somebody you’re watching closely on your fantasy teams, even after this solid performance.

This is a bit disappointing because the Orioles scored four runs in the first four innings, but Bassitt simply couldn’t hang in the game long enough to get a win. He threw 64 percent of his pitches for strikes and posted a 25 percent whiff rate while not allowing much hard contact or any extra base hits. However, the singles just started to pile up, and he left the game with two runners on in the fifth and Rafael Devers coming up. He’s still a risky streamer next week against the Guardians.

Webb walked three and struck out six while posting a 25 percent whiff rate and throwing 64 percent of his pitches for strikes. Webb has struggled a bit with the ABS strike zone because he’s simply not getting the same amount of called strikes on fringe pitches that he used to. He was already a pitcher who could hurt your WHIP in fantasy, so this has not been a great development. We wouldn’t sell low because he remains a strong pitcher who could bounce back, beginning next week against the Nationals.
