Tuesday night at Rogers Centre, the Orioles had a singular goal to stop a five-game losing streak or their Wild Card hopes would continue to slip away for good. Ironically, the desperate times in 2017 were taking place in the same place – Toronto, on the shores of Lake Ontario – where the 2016 season came to a heartbreaking end.
Dylan Bundy, on extended rest which has been good for him this year, pitched against the Blue Jays Joe Biagini. Starting the game, the O’s first two hitters Tim Beckham and Manny Machado, each grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3.
