The Orioles will presumably win another baseball game some day and will not finish the season with a 17-145 record. Wednesday afternoon against a fellow cellar-dweller team was not their day to do it.. The O’s offense picked up just five hits all game. Only two hits came after the first inning. When all was said and done, the O’s dropped a 3-2 final to the Twins, their ninth straight loss.
It did not have to be this way. It never does.
The game began in a promising enough fashion as leadoff man Cedric Mullins snuck a single through the infield.
