Surely, somebody is going to step up for the Orioles to stop this tragic road losing streak, now stretching to nineteen games? [Looks around, hears crickets.] Today’s plan for salvation saw the Orioles pinning their hopes on the righty Jorge López. The hole in that plan: talented though he is, López makes a lot of boneheaded errors. Today was proof positive. He’d flash 97 on the fastball and a biting knuckle curve, then get squeezed a little on the corners, lose his cool, and throw an idiotic, obvious, really hittable pitch.
The first inning was typical.
