The most (or least) clutch Orioles performances of the last week

Up until 12 days ago, the Orioles were playing well enough that they, and we, could at least pretend they might remain in the periphery of the AL wild card picture. Losing the last two games before the All-Star break to the Marlins and the first two coming out of the break to the Rays really settled that they were out of that. Nothing matters any more except for the O’s making people feel like the core of this team, which will be remaining into next year, can actually compete better. Lately, they’re doing the opposite.

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.
