Friday Bird Droppings: A daunting AL East road trip awaits the Orioles

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

It may have ended on an ugly note, but the Orioles mostly took care of business in their longest homestand of the year, going 6-4 in a well-played stretch that included series wins over MLB-best Tampa Bay and then first-place Pittsburgh, plus a four-game split against the Angels. Thirteen games into the most challenging, season-defining portion of their schedule, the Orioles are 7-6. I’ll take that.

It only gets more difficult from here. Tonight the Orioles begin a six-game road trip to visit two of their divisional opponents, the Blue Jays and Yankees, for the first time this season.
