They say winning two out of three isn’t bad. That seems like little consolation for the Orioles right now.
The O’s were denied a sweep in Toronto with a painful 6-1 loss in the finale, a game that was scoreless until a bullpen meltdown in the seventh. Combined with a no-show offense that failed to put a runner on base for the first six frames, the Birds stumbled out of Rogers Centre losing valuable ground in the Wild Card fray. They fell 1.5 games behind Toronto for the third spot while being leapfrogged in the race by the victorious Twins.
