Hello, friends.
Another day has dawned with the Orioles in last place in the American League East. Following Wednesday’s win, the Orioles now trail the division-leading Red Sox by 45.5 games and they trail even the fourth place Blue Jays by 16.5 games. They now have a “tragic number” to be eliminated from the East of three - the combination of O’s losses and Red Sox wins that will mathematically eliminate them from the division.
In their 114th game in 1988, the Orioles were beaten by the Brewers, 8-3.
