After contending for a playoff spot for much of the season, the Orioles are now playing like they can’t wait for it to end.
Impressive rookie Dean Kremer couldn’t pull the O’s out of their funk, as the 24-year-old was hit hard, early and often in a 9-1 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Baltimore is now 23-33, only a game ahead of the Red Sox for last place in the American League East. Wednesday’s loss was the Orioles’ second straight, sixth in seven games and 12th in 15 contests.
