The 101-win Baltimore Orioles are on the verge of being swept out of the postseason after losing Game 2 of the AL Division Series 11-8 to the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
Grayson Rodriguez issued the first four of a season-high 11 walks by Orioles pitchers and was pulled in the second inning. A parade of relievers didn't fare much better, including Jacob Webb surrendering a grand slam to Mitch Garver in the third.
Inconsistent pitching and a lack of timely hitting added up to a 2-0 series deficit for the AL East champions, who weren't swept in a series during the regular season.
