Any given baseball game has all kinds of ways that it can turn out to be very interesting. It can also be totally boring. The Orioles and Marlins began their Wednesday doubleheader with one of those boring games, combining for just five hits as the O’s fell, 1-0.
The only truly noteworthy about the game was the peculiar circumstance surrounding it. Due to COVID-related rules adjustments, any doubleheader is set for games with seven innings as regulation. This game had to be a doubleheader in the first place because of the significant outbreak of the virus that swept through the Marlins and kept them sidelined for more than a week.
