If you decided to spend your Wednesday evening the way countless fair-weather fans who have stopped tuning in for Orioles games this season spent it, well, I can hardly blame you.
The Orioles racked up seven hits, left a bunch of men aboard, and gave up three solo home runs. The two runs they did score, in the top of the eighth, felt less to their credit than to the deep demerit of the Toronto bullpen. It was a throughly blah affair.
How blah, you ask? Probably the most interesting thing I learned today was that, with his tenth loss on the season, Gabriel Ynoa joins David Hess as the first pair of teammates with one win and double-digit losses since two unfortunates from the 1916 Philadelphia A’s.
