The Orioles have waited more than three weeks for a victory. It fittingly took patience to deliver it.
A five-run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning featuring two bases-loaded walks led Baltimore to a 10-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night, ending the team’s 19-game losing streak, the longest in Major League Baseball since 2005.
Many of the announced 15,867 in attendance at Camden Yards likely came to watch two-way Angels star Shohei Ohtani start on the mound and bat leadoff, with the Orioles fans among them hoping to see this losing streak — two shy of the 1988 club’s season-opening skid for the franchise and American League records — end.
