Hello, friends.
Another day has dawned with the Orioles in last place in the American League East. They head into the All-Star break trailing the division-leading Red Sox by 39.5 games and they are behind even the fourth place Blue Jays by 16 games. In the race to avoid (or fail into) the worst record in MLB, the O’s are now ahead of the Royals by percentage points. Both are 41 games below .500.
In the 97th game in 1988, the Orioles were beaten by the Twins, 6-1.
