What happened

It was the best Mother’s Day gift that Orioles pitcher Anthony Nunez could have given his sister-in-law on Sunday.

Why it matters

Nunez appeared to randomly mouth the words “it’s a boy” when he came off the mound after the top of the eighth inning.

Common ground

However, it wasn’t random at all, and as MASN broadcaster Kevin Brown explained during the broadcast, there was a reason why he did it.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
