Monday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles lost but they're still in first

Despite losing a winnable game, the Orioles remain atop the AL East with the best winning percentage in the AL and the second best in MLB. After an off day today, they'll host the surprising Mariners, before heading out on an extended road trip to face the Angels, Astros and Indians.

In the Detroit series, the Orioles were able to equal their season high of seven straight wins. It seems like in recent years, the Orioles have almost been allergic to win streaks of more than four games.
