Friday Bird Droppings: The Orioles are on a roll
Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles are in the wild card race. That may seem a bit ridiculous to say given that they are still a sub-.500 team and there is plenty of season left for things to go wrong. But it doesn’t change the fact that this team, since May 1, has been so good that they are now in the thick of that discussion.
They beat the Angels 4-1 on Thursday, their fifth straight win. That win, which followed a sweep of the Rangers, has catapulted the Orioles above both of them in the league standings and puts them just a half-game back of the vaunted White Sox. Their five-game win streak is tied for the longest in all of MLB at the moment.
