One month and 20 days after they last won a game on the road, the Orioles finally won another one in Buffalo on Friday night. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t pretty, but when the dust settled after ten innings, the O’s were in the win column. There will be no more talk of whether the O’s might break the record for consecutive road losses. Unless they lose another 20 straight starting tomorrow.
In some ways, the stars aligned perfectly for the O’s. Matt Harvey pitched into the sixth inning for the first time since May 1. They snapped a streak of RISP futility that had seen them go without a run-scoring hit with a man on second or third base in six games.
