The Orioles’ modest win streak is over. A bad night for the bullpen and a lack of finishing from the offense added up to a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals at a soggy Camden Yards on Tuesday night.
It was an up-and-down type of game, or rather a down-then-up-and-finally-down game from the Orioles perspective. They got behind early, stormed back to take the lead in the middle innings, and then watched their bullpen piddle that lead away while the offense wasted opportunities throughout the evening.
Tomoyuki Sugano made the start on the mound. He has been, without a doubt, the team’s best starter through the season’s first two months.
