Hey, didn’t we just see you guys? Nine days after splitting four games against the Rays in Tampa, the Orioles welcome their AL East rivals north to Camden Yards. Baltimore will hope they can earn a series victory against the visiting Rays, but based on how the O’s are playing lately, it’s not likely.
After going 7-3 between June 11th and June 20th, the Orioles are back to scuffling, having dropped four of their last five. Offensive consistency has been a major problem all season in Baltimore, but it’s gotten especially bad over the last week. In three of those four losses, opposing pitchers took no-hitters into the 7th inning, as the Baltimore bats continue to wilt under the summer heat.
