I’ve always been a firm believer in the idea that bad baseball is better than no baseball at all. I still believe it, but last night’s loss by the Baltimore Orioles really tested that as the Toronto Blue Jays mounted a late-game comeback to take game one of a three-game series and send the Orioles to a 49-102 record.
In the process, Toronto rookie Cavan Biggio hit for the cycle, joining Jeff Frye (2001) and Kelly Gruber (1990) as the only players in franchise history to achieve the storied milestone. His cycle marks just the second time in MLB history that a father and son have both hit for the cycle in their careers, with Gary and Daryle Ward being the only other duo.
