Saturday Bird Droppings: Orioles injuries are piling up

Good morning, Birdland!

You can’t win ‘em all, and the Orioles are proof of that. They fell 4-2 to begin a weekend series in Detroit on Friday night. While it was not Jordan Lyles’s finest outing, it wasn’t dreadful either. Instead, it would have been nice to see the offense step up a bit. They went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 14 runners on base.

But it’s tough to be too upset with them given the lineup that was trotted out for the game. There was no Ryan Mountcastle, Austin Hays, or Ramon Urías.
