Hoo boy, that was bad. The Baltimore Orioles are now the worst team in baseball by 5½ games. Not that the first pick in the 2019 amateur draft is any consolation, but the O’s are one step closer to locking up that draft pick.
Similar to Saturday’s game, the Orioles got started on the right foot, with a first inning homer by Jonathan Villar. Unfortunately, that was all the offense the O’s could muster on Sunday.
The Orioles got into trouble in the third inning when they racked up three errors, two of which on one pickoff attempt, and allowed the Royals to jump out to a 4-1 lead.
