It’s a little early for longer-term speculation regarding the Orioles this season. But on the other hand, there are also only 57 games left this season, so, here goes.
Of all the positive storylines to come out of the more-pleasant-as-it-went-on opening series with the Red Sox, the best may have occurred Saturday, when Alex Cobb, 5-17 over his first two years with the Orioles, went out and picked up the win with 5.1 innings of one-run ball.
That’s no small feat. There may be fewer quality pitchers in the Boston organization than there were fans in the Fenway stands, but the Sox can hit.
