Twins angry after Orioles bunt against shift in 9th [View all]

The Minnesota Twins were quite aggrieved Sunday after a Baltimore Orioles player bunted against the shift trailing by seven in the ninth inning.

With one out in the ninth and nobody on in a 7-0 game, Baltimore catcher Chance Sisco laid down a bunt against the shifted Twins defense, allowing him to reach base with a single. The Orioles had just one hit before the Sisco bunt, but ended up loading the bases before Minnesota shut things down for the win and that seemed to be that.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. They shifted on him, why not bunt against that. If it were a no-hitter, I'd have a different opinion.
