What might the 2022 Orioles look like if they start getting a little bit better luck and if they start ending up on the right end of the stupid side of baseball a little bit more often? Monday afternoon’s series finale against the Royals provided part of an answer, with the Orioles taking advantage of some Kansas City bungling to roll to a six-run inning. Add that to Tyler Wells having a phenomenal six-inning start and the result was a 6-1 Orioles victory.
There could have almost as easily been a different story to tell about this game, a more familiar 2022 Orioles story of just enough bad luck and just enough inexplicable offensive ineptitude to send the team to a loss.
