There’s just something about Sunday afternoons that brings out the worst in the Orioles recently.
The O’s suffered their seventh straight Sunday day game defeat, a total dud against the Athletics that ruined a sweep attempt and lost them costly ground in the wild card race. While the Orioles limped to their 5-0 loss at the hands of the AL’s worst team, the Blue Jays completed a sweep of the lowly Pirates to extend their wild card lead to 2.5 games over the Birds.
Today’s game was exciting for approximately half an inning. Second baseman Gunnar Henderson began the tilt with a pair of outstanding defensive plays on the first two Athletics hitters, sending a roar through the crowd of Camden Yards crowd of 19,883.
