Good morning, Birdland!
Another loss last night means the Orioles have lost three games in the wild card race since the start of September, nearly three weeks ago. With only two weeks left in the season, the time to make up what is now a five-game gap between them and the Mariners is running low.
There needed to be a continuation of the momentum this team had going in July and August, when they boasted a 33-19 record, their best run of the season. But they have fallen flat this month with a record of 8-10 while being outscored by 25 runs.
