Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish beat the Baltimore Orioles and catcher Yainer Diaz defeated the Houston Astros on Tuesday in baseball's first salary arbitration decisions this year. Bradish got a raise from $2.35 million to $3.55 million instead of the Orioles' offer of $2,875,000, and Diaz received an increase from $805,600 to $4.5 million instead of the Astros' $3 million proposal. Melinda Gordon, Chris Cameron and Steve Raymond made the Bradish decision, and John Stout, Robert Herman and Brian Keller ruled on Diaz.
