Saturday Bird Droppings: The Orioles have had a tough week

Good morning, Birdland!

It’s been one of those weeks for the Orioles. They just cannot seem to put everything together. Last night saw Dean Kremer deliver one of the better starts of his young big league career, and then the bullpen fell apart.

The four runs the O’s scored could be considered an offensive outburst for this bunch. They last scored more than four runs a week ago, and haven’t done so in a winning effort since May 5.

The desperation is showing a bit in Brandon Hyde’s lineup construction. Freddy Galvis started at clean-up on Friday for the first time in his career.
