Sunday Bird Droppings: After one got away late, the Orioles try to win the series today

Hello, friends.

Ah, the Orioles. They were so close to pulling off another unexpected win over Atlanta on Saturday night, and they were also so far away. Although the O’s took a one-run lead into the eighth inning, longtime nemesis Kevin Pillar got a pinch-hit go-ahead home run off of Danny Coulombe and the O’s went on to lose, 5-4. I didn’t even know that dude was on the Braves. Will we ever be rid of him?

With the Saturday night loss, the Orioles are now 22-11 for the season. That’s the fifth different time that the team has ended a day with a record of exactly two wins for every loss.
