Hello, friends.
The good vibes in Birdland are temporarily on hold after last night’s clunker 8-2 loss to the Reds. Dean Kremer wasn’t any good, extending a streak of a dozen games since the last time the O’s had a pitcher record a quality start. It’s sure not ideal, especially since their best pitcher to date (Tyler Wells) is now officially out with an oblique strain, so he’ll be out for a while.
Worse news for the Orioles is that the team they’re chasing down was victorious while the O’s lost on Saturday. They now sit three games back of the third wild card spot held by those Rays, and also need to pass the Guardians (half-game ahead of the O’s) to get into that spot.
