Tuesday began a six-day trip to the Lone Star State for the Baltimore Orioles, a trip expected to challenge this O’s roster as they go toe-to-toe with the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. The trip has become even more of a challenge after an eventful Wednesday night contest.
The Orioles bullpen surrendered six runs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday, but escaped with a 12-11 victory over their American League West opponents. Wednesday night saw these same two teams enter the ninth inning with just one combined run scored. But that wasn’t the big storyline from the night.
