It’s officially spoiler season for the Baltimore Orioles who have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for over a week.
This past weekend, Baltimore took two games from the Tampa Bay Rays who have since lost their lead to the Oakland A’s for the second American League wild card spot. Tuesday night, the Orioles won their second of three games against the Nationals this season with a 2-0 shutout victory.
With the loss, Washington’s lead on the top National League Wild Card spot dropped to three games with the Chicago Cubs defeating the New York Mets.
