The Orioles were one out away from a doubleheader sweep Wednesday night when Yonder Alonso's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Chicago White Sox a 7-6 win in the second game at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Yet considering the Orioles’ early misplays and faulty situational hitting throughout Wednesday’s games, a sweep seemed unlikely.
Unlike the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader, when the Orioles came from behind and overcame a sloppy start for a 5-4 win, there was no Mychal Givens waiting to shut the door at the end of the game.
