On June 16, 2015, the Orioles clowned the Phillies, 19-3, in a game nobody liked watching and nobody likes remembering. Manny Machado homered off Jerome Williams to lead off a six-run bottom of the first, and from then on, Baltimore scored in every inning but the seventh.
This game is notable not just for the plethora of dirty innings it supplies, but because it led to a moment that some could argue stands alone as rock bottom for this franchise among a stretch of bad years. Reexamine this sequence of events that happened that night, and consider whether anything else you’ve witnessed or blocked out from 2012-17 even comes close:
- In the bottom of the sixth, Justin De Fratus gives up a lead-off home run to Chris Parmelee to make it 15-3.
