Even with six weeks left of games to try to build for their future, there’s little else for these Orioles to take on a night-to-night basis than moments.
In their 2-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians before an announced 28,264 at Progressive Field on Friday night, David Hess had one he’ll surely hope to carry with him going forward.
He and the Orioles were already down by the final margin thanks to a two-run home run by José Ramírez in the first inning, and were about to see that deficit grow in the third inning when after a leadoff single and a double play, Hess issued a pair of walks around a hit-by-pitch to load the bases for slugger Yonder Alonso.
