Hello, friends.
The Orioles sure picked a bad time to have their most lopsided defeat of the season. At this point, they can’t give away any no-chancer games, and that’s exactly what they played yesterday. There’s nothing quite like trailing 4-0 before the starting pitcher even records an out. When the dust settled, the O’s fell to the Red Sox, 17-4. That’s pretty bad. Check out John Beers’s recap for the not-so-lovely totals.
The loss leaves the Orioles at 73-66. It’s a fine record. If they close out the season at that pace, they’ll end up at 85-77.
