The remedy for the winningest team in all of professional baseball after its worst loss of the season, naturally, is a 10:30 a.m. game the next day that allows it to just get back to winning as quickly as possible.
That's exactly how the Low-A Delmarva Shorebirds, the Orioles' South Atlantic League affiliate, used Thursday's date with Greensboro. After the Grasshoppers won the first game of the series, 9-0, on Wednesday, the Shorebirds won, 5-2, on Thursday to improve to a minor league-best 25-5.
Manager Kyle Moore said Thursday that while they're all there for development, especially at the lowest rung of the full-season ladder, the way the Shorebirds have played the first month of the season certainly makes that goal easier.
