Monday Bird Droppings: An incredible Orioles homestand is in the books

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

They did it. By Jove, the Orioles actually did it.

The O’s completed a four-game sweep of the Angels — and a perfect 7-0 homestand — with yet another win yesterday afternoon, running their win streak to eight games. In a homestand full of close games and thrilling, last at-bat victories, the Orioles’ final salvo was a relatively stress-free, 9-5 contest.

In a complete reversal of the last 4-5 years of O’s baseball, these Orioles are doing everything right while their opponents stumble and flail. In yesterday’s game, the Angels committed two defensive misplays, allowed a run-scoring passed ball, allowed a run-scoring wild pitch, and committed a balk — all in the same half-inning.
