The Orioles lost on Thursday and so did all of their farm teams. Some had struggles on offense, some had bullpen meltdowns. That's how it goes sometimes.
When you only get eight hits, and none of them are for extra bases, you're going to have a hard time scoring runs. Leadoff man Xavier Avery had three of the eight hits but no one ever got a hit in the same inning as he did. The Tides went 0-4 in their few at-bats with runners in scoring position.
The game was actually closer than the final score indicates, as the Tides only trailed 1-0 heading into the eighth inning.
