A late hit barrage by the visiting Atlanta Braves gave the Orioles the wide-margin defeat they deserved as they managed just four hits in a 5-1 loss Tuesday night at Camden Yards.
For most of the night, it was a two-run deficit that felt like 10 before reliever Asher Wojciechowski gave up three runs in the ninth inning to put the game out of reach. An Orioles offense that scored 14 runs Monday night looked a lot more like the one that managed to score just three times in the previous four games.
Thomas Eshelman, who last pitched in relief Friday, gave the Orioles (21-27) as much as they could ask for in his spot start.
