We knew going into this series that wins would be hard to come by. We’d just swept the Cincinnati Reds, bringing our record to 18-20 coming into last night’s game, and we were riding a four-game win streak. But we were going to the Orioles’ house, and the Orioles are the best team in the American League. So. We had our work cut out for us.
The Diamondbacks lost a close-ish game last night, and we had Ryne Nelson going today against Baltimore lefty and recent returnee from Tommy John surgery John Means. Seemed like we had a shot of snatching this one into our win column.
