The Orioles cannot score runs anymore. That’s just the long and short of it. They can’t hit bad pitchers, they can’t hit good pitchers. They can’t hit starters, they can’t hit relievers. They can’t hit. It all showed again tonight, which resulted in a 2-0 loss and a sweep at the hand of the Nationals.
Tonight at least, they could pitch. So that was something different for a change. Rookie David Hess turned in a fine performance and provided a glimmer of enjoyment in an otherwise quiet and disappointing game.
Look, nobody expected the Orioles to do anything against Max Scherzer.
