Nationals wear down the Orioles in first matchup of the season, 8-1

Once again, it was a frustrating night for the Orioles at Camden Yards. Their starting pitching wasn’t terrible but every reliever allowed at least one run and the Nats kept finding ways to push across a run here and there. There were also numerous errors, mental and fielding alike. Not to mention, the Birds’ offense was virtually non-existent.

Baltimore managed only four hits the entire game, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and leaving seven men on base.

The Nationals, on the other hand, were 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position. They scored eight runs on 12 hits.
