Monday Bird Droppings: The Orioles’ road trip isn’t going as planned

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

When the Orioles set out on their three-city, seven-game road trip through the AL East on Thursday, they knew it had the chance to either make or break their postseason hopes.

So far, unfortunately, they’re trending toward the latter.

The Orioles followed a loss in Boston by dropping two out of three to the Rays in a critical series in Tampa, knocking the Birds 1.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot. The last of those losses was particularly embarrassing, as the Orioles were a mere three outs away from letting Drew Rasmussen throw a perfect game against them before rallying for a hit and a run in the ninth inning.
