You may have thought that the Orioles’ offense woke up Monday night.
Instead, if Tuesday’s game was any indication, all it did was hit the snooze button and go back to sleep.
After putting up 14 runs, 15 hits and four home runs in the first game of the series, the Orioles went back to their listless form in a 5-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves Tuesday night, wasting a solid combined effort from Tom Eshelman and the Baltimore bullpen.
It looked and felt like more from the series the Orioles just limped away from, a four-game sweep against the Yankees during which the Birds scored only three runs altogether.
