If there’s one thing this season that’s even rarer than an Orioles win, it’s a decisive Orioles win. Entering tonight, the O’s had only 11 victories all season by three or more runs, and none since July 29.
You wouldn’t have expected tonight to be one of them. Not against the Blue Jays, who had won 12 of their 13 games against the Orioles this year. Not when the O’s failed to score a run in the first five innings of this game. Yet the clouds parted, the stars aligned, and the Orioles delivered a 7-0 victory to snap their eight-game losing streak.
