The O's fell in an ugly fashion to the Oakland A's on Saturday. Mike Wright couldn't miss any bats, while the offense snoozed through the first eight innings.
Unfortunately, it appears the Orioles offense couldn't drive in consistent runs if the baseball morphed into a beach ball when it came out of the pitcher's hand. Plating runs has been a difficult task for the Birds as of late, and game one of Saturday's doubleheader certainly continued to follow that trend.
Putting just three hits on the board over the first eight innings, the O's fell to the Athletics 8-4 in their alternate black uniforms.
