After finishing the month of July with a 12-12 record, the first .500 or better month since August of 2017, the Baltimore Orioles limped through August of 2019 with a 9-19 record, giving up 189 runs in the process, a high for any month this year.
Credit where credit is due as the Orioles did end the month on a high note, going 6-4 over their last 10 games against the Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Rays, and Washington Nationals, including a 14-2 win in Kansas City with John Means on the mound in front of his hometown crowd.
