Good morning, Birdland!
Scoring four runs in an MLB game is not atrocious. It’s rather middling. A team can win on that effort, but you would just as soon take another insurance run or two if you had the chance. For the Orioles on Tuesday night it felt painful.
Baltimore was 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. That lone hit was Cedric Mullins’ second-inning grand slam, which accounted for their entire offense in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers. It was bad.
The lack of follow through was particularly embarrassing in the bottom of the 8th inning.
