The 2018 Orioles reached a new peak of efficiency on Friday night as they lost their latest game to the Twins, 6-2. It took all of one pitch for the universe to signal that, yes, it was going to be THAT kind of game. This is, seemingly, the only kind of game they play this season, but it usually takes a little bit longer to realize it.
What happened on the first pitch of the game is this: Tim Beckham swung at a Lance Lynn pitch and drove it to the deepest part of the ballpark in Minnesota.
