The Orioles arrived in Chicago fresh off a 5-1 homestand and a series win against the Blue Jays. This made some people, and by some I mean me, think that the Cubs wouldn’t pose too much of an obstacle. I never assume a game is a win, but losing two in a row to the fourth-place team in the NL Central wasn’t really on my radar. But that’s just what happened today.
Kyle Gibson took the loss for the Orioles today, but his performance was not what kept the team from winning. He gave up just three hits in six innings!
