This is why we can’t have nice things.
One night ago, the Orioles finally won a game away from Baltimore for the first time in more than a month, snapping a 13-game road losing streak that tied the longest in franchise history. For once, they resembled a competent all-around team, getting a strong offensive performance, a quality start from a hurler, and some clutch outs from the bullpen to nail down the victory. While it may not have been enough to salvage the season, it at least offered hope that the O’s could gather some momentum and string together a couple of road wins in a row.
