Sometimes it feels like your team isn’t meant to win. The Orioles Sunday afternoon 7-5 loss to the Athletics was one of those times.
The first inning was an omen of awful things to come. The Orioles gift wrapped the Athletics their first run of the day with some shoddy defense.
Following a Matt Olson single, Ramón Laureano went from first to third base. DJ Stewart collected the hit and threw it in the direction to Ramón Urías. But the throw bounced and Urías failed to corral it. As the ball bounded away, Laureano trotted home to give the A’s a 1-0 advantage.
