Orioles’ Kyle Bradish Strikes Out 10 in 6 Innings in His Return From Tommy John Surgery
Kyle Bradish struck out 10 batters over six innings in his first MLB start in 438 days, demonstrating strong recovery and velocity post-Tommy John surgery, Orioles said.
- Kyle Bradish pitched six innings and struck out 10 batters in his return from Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, in Baltimore against the Boston Red Sox.
- Bradish's first major league start since June 14, 2024, followed a 12-month recovery and six rehab starts after Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery.
- He allowed two runs on four hits, including solo homers by Trevor Story and David Hamilton, threw 81 pitches with 51 strikes, and struck out at least one batter each inning.
- Bradish matched close to his pre-surgery velocity, maxing at 97.8 mph with an average sinker speed of 95.2 mph, and interim manager Tony Mansolino said he was "super thrilled" with the performance.
- Despite the Orioles' 5-0 loss and last-place standing, Bradish's strong outing suggests potential for the team's improved pitching and competitiveness in 2026.
