Orioles find out that things really are tough all over
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez (50) leaves a baseball game during the sixth inning against the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas, Sunday, Aug. 30, 2015. The Rangers won 6-0. (LM Otero / Associated Press)It was bad enough that the Orioles got shut out and swept in Texas, but that would not be the end of the indignity that would attach to them over the course of a very eventful Sunday across the major leagues.
The Orioles lost for the 10th time in 11 games and fell further out of contention in the American League wild card race, which would have been disturbing enough to the O's, their front office and their fans all by itself.
