Entering the season, if you had “The Orioles will lose eight games in a row” on your bingo card, well, I have to tell you you’re a very cynical person. But that’s where we are, after the offense failed to show up again last night against Milwaukee rookie Logan Henderson in a 5-2 loss.
Go figure, Tomoyuki Sugano, the 35-year-old rookie from Japan, is the closest thing this Orioles rotation currently has to an ace. In nine starts, the right hander is 4-3 with a 3.08 ERA. He’s held opponents to four runs or less in each of them, and has completed five innings or more seven of nine tries.
