Happy Friday, Birdland! Despite a solid night on the mound for John Means and production from the top of the order last night, the Baltimore Orioles fell to the Texas Rangers at Camden Yards, dropping to 46-94 on the year and remaining one win shy of tying last year’s win total of 47.
Yesterday afternoon, we discussed four things to watch for in this Texas series and started with the man himself, Hanser Alberto. With Texas scheduled to start three left-handed pitchers, Alberto will have plenty of opportunities to close the gap in this year’s race for the American League batting title, a race Alberto currently sits fourth in.
