The Orioles August free fall continues uninterrupted. They were not able to bring a temporary halt to it on Sunday afternoon against the Red Sox, getting swept out of Boston. The 6-2 loss marks the eleventh straight setback for the O’s.
Two other streaks were snapped in the game by the Orioles. One was Cedric Mullins’s 20-game hitting streak. He went 0-5. Eric Davis’s franchise record will last a while longer. They also snapped out of an 0-34 streak with runners in scoring position.
Not that it makes the loss count as any less of a loss, but it wasn’t a complete laugher like many of the games in the losing streak have been.
