Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The Orioles just keep on plugging along. After their 106-series sweepless streak ended in St. Louis, a fire has been lit under this team, which has rattled off an 8-2 record and won all three series since. Yesterday they finished a 4-2 homestand with two series victories over AL East foes. The O’s are 37-20, the fifth-best record in the majors, and are on pace for 105 wins. You love to see it.
Still, the final game of the homestand left a somewhat sour taste in the mouths of Orioles fans. The O’s had every opportunity to pull off the sweep, building an early 3-0 lead behind a dominant Cole Irvin in a game in which they’d eventually collect 15 hits.
