The last game of the 2019 Orioles season may not have been a perfect encapsulation of the year, but it came pretty dang close. After unexpectedly decent starting pitching, a clutch offensive rally erasing one bad bullpen outing, and a little highlight-reel defense, the Orioles ultimately lost their final game to the Red Sox, a walkoff loss where a runner on first base scored on a single to right field. No, really.
The loss seals that the Orioles finished this whole season without ever once sweeping an opponent in a series. It is an almost unbelievable feat.
