Orioles hold off late-charging Blue Jays in hard-fought 6-5 win

You know how suffering a blowout loss can tend to ruin a team’s morale or send them spiraling into a little funk?

Yeah...not these Orioles.

The O’s bounced back from Monday’s lopsided defeat with a well-played, hard-fought, 6-5 victory that snapped their seven-game losing streak to the Blue Jays. The O’s proved once again that they don’t let big losses linger; the Orioles are now a perfect 5-0 this season in games immediately following a loss of eight runs or more.

You never know what to expect from baseball, huh? The Orioles tonight ran out a lineup that was so lacking in quality hitters — with Trey Mancini, Anthony Santander, and Ramon Urias all out for various reasons — that it featured Ryan McKenna in the #6 slot.
