Yes, the Orioles offense has been flatlining, managing just a measly .561 OPS over their last seven games. And at a really bad time: last night’s series-opening loss in Cleveland dropped them to 3 games back of the Blue Jays for the final Wild Card spot.
But there’s hope! And more reasons to watch this team: Gunnar Henderson and DL Hall have been called up to the big-league club, with Henderson directly inserted into tonight’s lineup. No languishing in the dugout waiting for a late-innings pinch run opportunity for this guy: Gunnar will bat sixth and wear the No.
