Friday Bird Droppings: The Orioles rescued their road trip at the last minute

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Just when you think you’re out...the Orioles pull you back in.

Going into the eighth inning of yesterday’s O’s game, the vibes in Birdland were perhaps the worst they’ve been all year. The Orioles’ bats had been completely shut down by a journeyman pitcher with a 4.94 ERA, continuing a recent trend of offensive woes. They were in danger of being swept for the first time all season, getting manhandled by a good but not great Brewers team. Every roster flaw was magnified; every player seemed as if he was in a never-ending slump.
