Reeling from the blowout yesterday that sealed the series sweep for the Yankees, the Orioles will now turn their attention to the Oakland Athletics, who come into town for a four game series starting tonight.
Last year the O’s were 1-5 against the A’s, getting outscored 26-12.
Oakland has shown some pop as a team so far this year, ranking sixth in baseball in home runs with 15, as of this morning. It will be especially important for the Orioles’ pitchers to keep the ball in the park, considering this series takes place at the hitter-friendly Camden Yards, against a power-hitting team like the A’s.
