Irvin on fire with scoreless innings streak, Kimbrel has 'to be better'

Cole Irvin hasn’t allowed a run in almost a month. On Friday night he will try to keep his hot streak going as the Orioles return home. "He is pitching with a ton of confidence and putting all of those scoreless innings together in a row will do that," said O's manager Brandon Hyde. The Birds' lefty brings a scoreless streak of 20 2/3 consecutive innings into Friday's game against Arizona. That’s the longest such streak of his career. That's zero runs allowed over his past three outings.
