The Orioles are undefeated in August. It’s only been two games, but let’s enjoy it while it lasts after a winning June and July. They convincingly beat the Rangers on Tuesday night, an 8-2 victory giving them a second straight lopsided win. The team has showed no sign that the absence of Trey Mancini or Jorge López will hurt them much. But then, the Rangers aren’t good and many better teams await on the schedule - just not until Monday.
Combined with a Rays loss earlier on Tuesday, the Orioles now sit 1.5 games back of a wild card spot with 58 games remaining to be played.
