I found myself asking during this game, “Who are these Orioles?” Seeing a team that is never out of it, that never gives up, and that just keeps winning is still so very new to me. I don’t know how to react!
But after watching Gunnar Henderson dominate at the plate, the bullpen put up 4.2 scoreless innings, Ryan O’Hearn hit a go-ahead home run off of a lefty, and the Orioles take three out of four against the former first-place Tampa Bay Rays, I have an answer. They are, at the moment at least, the best team in the American League.
