Wednesday Bird Droppings: Orioles near end of brutal schedule stretch

Good morning, Birdland!

Last night was one of those games that the Orioles probably win if it happens on a different day. The team is nearing the end of a brutal stretch of schedule in which they play 19 games in 18 days. It all started with a double header, included a game in which the starting pitcher was unable to record a single out, and has seen the team play three extra-inning games in the last five days. All that is to the say the bullpen is being stretched to the absolute max, and Brandon Hyde does not always have his preferred plethora of pitchers available.
