You know, when Austin Hays is cranking homers and Kelvin Gutierrez is making diving stops on hard-hit grounders, and the Orioles are hitting pitch after pitch all around and out of the ballpark, it’s easy to forget a defining rule with this season’s Baltimore ballclub.
If there’s a chance for everything to go wrong, it’s a good bet it will.
That was the case yet again in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, as a win the Orioles seemed to put out of doubt was still dashed to pieces when George Springer’s two-run home run lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11-10 victory, one that saw them score four runs in the top of the seventh and final inning to steal the game.
