This week in Birdland could prove to be one full of rewriting history. Austin Hays already rewrote the records books on Wednesday night by becoming the first Oriole to hit for the cycle in six innings or less. Tonight’s game against the White Sox offers a couple of chances to rewrite some more recent history.
The Orioles will be seeking to win their first game in Guaranteed Rate Field since May 1 of 2019. Those three years (and counting) between wins included a four-game sweep on the Southside in 2022—a year where the Birds were 0-7 against the White Sox.
