Without the twists and turns of the series opener or the big scoring swings from this weekend in Washington, Tuesday night’s 7-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field was an unspectacular but deserved eighth straight loss for an Orioles team that’s plummeting to the bottom of the league.
With 15 losses in their past 17 games, the Orioles are a league-worst 17-31 and clinched a series loss against a Twins team that two days ago joined them in sharing the worst record in baseball.
After John Means broke their run of short starts Monday, the Orioles got another short one from Dean Kremer on Tuesday.
