The Baltimore Orioles‘ recent tour of California was a road trip to forget. There were some undeniably positive moments over the course of the six games, but after suffering back-to-back sweeps, the Birds will return to Maryland with little to show for it.
The always tenacious Oakland Athletics proved to be particularly frustrating opponents. All three games of the series were decided by two runs or fewer, but the men in green managed to come out on top in each one, outscoring the O’s 10-5.
It might be comforting to say that the Orioles have reached rock bottom, but it seems that they find a new way to disappoint with every game.
