Wait, are the Orioles actually on...a losing streak? How could this happen?
The Birds have lost two consecutive games for the first time since back-to-back defeats in San Diego from Aug. 15-16. Their latest west coast trip — their second in three weeks — begun with a dud last night. The Orioles’ offense went completely silent against Zach Davies, a pitcher who entered the game with a 6.93 ERA, had thrown only two quality starts in 13 outings, and had not won a game at home since May 2022. Just a brutal performance by the Birds’ bats.
They’d better wake up in a hurry, because they’ll be facing increasingly better starting pitchers throughout the series, concluding tomorrow with NL Cy Young candidate Zac Gallen.
