The Orioles attempted to get their first sweep of the year today, but they just weren’t up to the task. Well, the hitters weren’t up to the task. The pitchers did their job, allowing just two runs in the game. The end result was as 2-0 loss. At least they won the series, I suppose.
It seems that scoring 26 runs combined on Friday and Saturday really took it out of the O’s hitters, because today they were only able to muster three hits in eight innings off of starter Shane Bieber. They did put up a fight against closer Brad Hand (more on that later), but it was too little, too late.
