The O’s affiliates couldn’t win a single weekend series, but they did go 3-2 on Sunday.
Norfolk Tides 5, Columbus Clippers (CLE) 3
Andy Oliver was shaky (2.2 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 3 ER) in his sixth start of the season, which has been the norm lately: after allowing three runs over 23.2 innings in his first 11 appearances, Oliver has allowed 11 runs in 14.2 innings since being moved to the rotation full-time.
Fortunately, Norfolk was able to dig out of the early deficit thanks to a 3-run bomb by Ozzie Martinez in the third inning, his third homer of the year.
