One day, when they make a season retrospective video about the 2023 Orioles, this afternoon’s game will not be included.
A day full of frustration, and the occasional but all-too-fleeting moment of awesomeness, resulted in an aggravating 6-5 loss to the Angels to finish the Orioles’ 10-game homestand. What had the potential to be a thrilling, come-from-behind victory for the Birds, who overcame missed opportunities early to take a late lead, turned sour when a collection of Relievers Who Are Not Yennier Cano let the game slip away in the eighth.
Early on, you’d never have guessed what a roller coaster, back-and-forth affair this game would become.
