Slumping Orioles offense awakens as rotation woes continue
Browse pictures of the Orioles in June 2016.Manager Buck Showalter was trying to find the right word Wednesday afternoon to describe how his inconsistent hitters might be feeling after losing the first two games of the four-game home series against the first-place Boston Red Sox.
They had been upstaged in their home ballpark by a Boston lineup that seemed determined to show them who was the real power broker in the American League East. The Sox had outhomered them 7-0 Monday and Tuesday to add to a slump that dated to the Orioles' ugly 52-strikeout series in Houston.
So "unconcerned" certainly wasn't the right word.
"Frustrated" really didn't fit the mood either.
