Believe it or not, spotting a team five runs may not be the best way to win a baseball game. Still, the Orioles nearly pulled out a home victory against Philadelphia Thursday night. Baltimore scored the final four runs of the game, but its comeback bid came up short in a 5-4 loss.
The Orioles did not record a hit until the fifth inning, but a strong effort from the bullpen and some late offense made things interesting. Still, there’s a reason the Phillies are in first place of the NL East and the Orioles have the worst record in baseball.
