Here we go. The Orioles are back in Baltimore after a triumphant six-game road trip through two other AL East cities. There is no time to rest on their laurels because here await the Rangers, the most prolific offense in baseball up to this point in the season.
That doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to obliterate the O’s. After all, the O’s pitched pretty well in their previous series against this team, back in April, before anyone had any idea that either the Orioles or Rangers could be any good through close to a third of the season.
This Friday night game marks the modestly-ballyhooed on-field debut of the Orioles new City Connect uniform designs.
