After stringing together six wins in a row, the Orioles are finally resembling the team most fans were waiting to see this season. Unfortunately for the Orioles, the rest of the division has turned around their slow start in the past weeks as well. Now the Orioles are above .500 for first time in a long time, but still hovering around fourth place despite being only two games behind the division-leading Yankees.
Lately the Orioles’ lineup is beginning to find solid ground. Underperforming members of the roster like Alejandro De Aza and Everth Cabrera have been replaced with more consistently productive players, and the starting rotation and bullpen have settled into the consistency expected from the beginning of the season.
