Wednesday Bird Droppings: Blanked inside the beltway

The curse of the City Connects continued on Tuesday night, but this time in the nation’s capital. Despite another good performance from ace Corbin Burnes, the Orioles lost 3-0 to the host Nationals. The offense was to blame, as they had just three hits—all of which were singles—no walks, and 12 strikeouts. They had just one at-bat with runners in scoring position all night. Ick.
The two-game mini series concludes this evening in D.C. That means that the Orioles’ streak of avoiding series sweeps is on the line against their interleague “rivals.” It would be very lame to lose such a run in those circumstances.
