It started as quite the upbeat weekend, with the Orioles scoring an exciting comeback victory in the opener of their three-game interleague series against the San Francisco Giants.
It did not end well.
The O’s offense, which had been producing above the low expectations that followed the rebuilt lineup into the season, took the rest of the weekend off and allowed the Giants to take the series with Sunday’s 8-1 victory at Camden Yards.
Of course, there was a little more to it than just that. There were also a couple of defensive gaffes that helped the Giants take control during the middle innings.
