What happened: Kyle Bradish has allowed just one earned run while striking out 21 batters across his last two starts for the Baltimore Orioles. The right-hander has been overpowering hitters and missing bats at a high rate during the stretch.

Why it matters: Bradish rounding into form gives Baltimore a steadying presence atop its rotation as the regular season grinds on. A reliable front-line starter changes how the Orioles can navigate a long summer and sets a higher floor for their pitching staff.

What to watch: Watch whether Bradish can carry the form into his next outing and string together a third straight strong start to cement his place as Baltimore's go-to arm.
