Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The Orioles and Royals just finished a four-game set in the most fitting way for two bottom-feeding clubs: with neither team winning the series. The Royals’ 6-0 shutout last night, which Mark Brown recapped, finished a series split between two clubs who had nothing to play for. For those who are interested in such things, the loss moved the Orioles within half a game of the idle Diamondbacks for the worst record in baseball and the #1 pick in the 2022 draft.
Now the schedule gets extremely difficult again, starting tonight with the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays coming into Baltimore for four games in three days, including a Saturday doubleheader to make up a July rainout.
