You know, before this Braves series started, I said that I’d be perfectly content with the Orioles winning one out of three.
They’ve done that. But now I’ve changed my mind, and I can’t help feeling like it’d be a disappointment if they settle for just one win. Especially after the O’s came tantalizingly close to a second one last night, only for the bullpen, with Yennier Cano unavailable, to let it slip away. And of course it had to be Kevin Pillar, an otherwise mediocre hitter who has an .880 career OPS versus the Orioles — his highest against any team by far — who socked the go-ahead home run for Atlanta.
