Notches win in MLB debut Baumann (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Royals, allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk over 3.2 relief innings. He struck out one. Impact The right-hander wasn't dominant in a bulk-relief role during his big-league debut, but Baumann was effective and got rewarded with the win after he took over for Alexander Wells to begin the fifth inning with the O's already ahead. Baumann tossed only 46 pitches (31 strikes), and the team indicated when he was promoted that he wouldn't be used as a starter, but if the 2017 third-round pick keeps generating positive results, that plan could change.
