The early lead was gone, but there was a clear path to staying in the game in front of the Orioles Sunday afternoon. All Baltimore had to do was make the fundamental plays, make the smart plays, and the O’s would have all the opportunities they’d need to score a win over the Giants, and a win in their series.
Well, as this Orioles team is reminding its fans on a daily basis, that’s not so simple a task. And it wasn’t on Sunday, either.
Mental and physical errors doomed what had been a solid outing from Gabriel Ynoa and sent the Orioles to an 8-1 loss to the Giants.
