One step forward, two steps back. The unofficial motto of the 2022 Baltimore Orioles.
It was only three days ago that fans were feeling pretty good about the state of the O’s, coming off an 8-4 run and an impressive series win on the road in St. Louis.
Nothing like getting swept by the worst team in the American League, while losing several key players to injury, to deflate that optimism. The Tigers completed a three-game dismantling of the banged-up Orioles in a 5-1 decision Sunday afternoon, a game in which the O’s were never competitive.
