The Orioles let a series win slip through the fingers as the bullpen fell apart and wasted a rare offensive outburst as part of an 11-6 loss to the Royals on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.
This was a big game for the solo home run aficionados out there. The Orioles and Royals combined to hit 11 long balls in this game, 10 of which were with no one on base. Seems like a lot, right? It is! Those 10 solo shots tied a major league record for a single game, according to Sarah Langs.
Unfortunately, the Orioles didn’t hit as many home runs as the visiting Royals.
