The Baltimore Orioles‘ recent series against the Chicago White Sox was a true mixed bag, complete with intense pitchers’ duels, a bullpen meltdown and a decisive victory to complete the slate. In the end, the Birds took two out of four games to move to 16-34 on the season.
A split series might not sound so bad for a team that arrived in the Windy City on a 1-15 road skid, but the White Sox, currently in the throes of a full-scale rebuild, have one of the most barren rosters in the league. The fact that they outscored the Orioles by a 19-15 margin says a lot about the Birds’ current state.
