Orioles hitters confused by rare sunlight, shut down by Mariners in series finale, 7-2

What is that big bright ball burning in the sky? Run away! The weather was finally nice, and the Orioles forgot how to hit in such conditions.

For the first time in what seems like an entire age of the world, the sun shone down on a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles must not have remembered how to hit in daylight, because they could get almost nothing going against the Mariners as they lost the rubber game of the series, 7-2.

With the loss, the O's once again fall back into a tie - technically ahead by percentage points - with the Red Sox for the AL East lead.
