Last week’s edition of this article had the Orioles five games into what ended up being a season-long six-game winning streak. That was fun. Not quite as fun this week, with the O’s having gone 3-3 since this time last week. It is an improvement on most of the other weeks they’ve had this season, though treading water at .500 isn’t going to pull off anybody’s longshot playoff dreams or stave off a potential end of July period of trading away soon-to-be free agents.
This series looks at each Orioles game, the most crucial play that happened in it and who was involved, and the Oriole who contributed the most positive to a win or negative to a loss.
