There were a trio of prominent storylines going into Tuesday night’s game. The Orioles had been losing, a lot, on the road. Their defense had a bad night in the series opener. And Matt Harvey was having a really tough time finding the form he had earlier in the season.
Well, Tuesday closed the book on neither one of those narratives.
Baltimore’s defense was sloppy again, Harvey was shaky again, and the Orioles’ road losing streak reached 17 games with a 7-2 loss to Cleveland in a game that had about as much rush and excitement as a mid-afternoon nap.
