With both the Royals and the Rays losing games on Tuesday night, the Orioles came into their game against the Angels with a prime chance to gain a game on the wild card teams ahead of them. All that they would have to do is take down their former farmhand, Parker Bridwell, casually cast aside by the team back in April.
The revenge narrative writes itself, doesn't it? The Orioles decided they had no use for Bridwell. He joined another organization and has ripped off a solid streak of starts.
