Orioles hitters blown away by Ventura's heat in 5-3 loss to Royals

The Orioles lost again in Kansas City on Thursday afternoon, their seventh loss in their last eight games. Adam Jones might be hurt. There's not much good news to be found.

There have been many frustrating Orioles losses over the course of this season where the game felt like it hinged on one or two blown chances against a mediocre starter. The O's fell to the Royals, 5-3, on Thursday afternoon, but this was not one of those games. Despite a late rally, they never really had a chance.

At first glance, maybe it looks like a game where the Orioles should have had a chance.
