For the second consecutive game, an Orioles starting pitcher out-pitched his Cy Young-winning Astros counterpart on Wednesday afternoon. For the fifth consecutive game, the Orioles found a way to lose as they dropped a 3-2 contest to get themselves swept out of Houston, where they have not won a game since 2015. That’s not a joke. Don’t worry, the Orioles only have to go on to New York to play the Yankees for four games.
The crisis is not yet upon this team, but it won’t be very long before they’re right up against it if they keep finding stupid reasons to lose games that they could have won.
