Ladies and gentlemen, the Orioles have won two games in a row. They’re red hot.
The Birds’ bats busted out of their season-long slump — at least for one night — with an 11-6 trouncing of the Royals on Thursday, securing the Birds’ first two-game winning streak in more than a month.
Let’s get the ugly stuff out of the way first...mainly because it happened first. I’m nothing if not chronological. The Orioles’ starter tonight was Chris Tillman, who originally was expected to pitch Saturday in one game of the doubleheader before being shifted to tonight’s start instead.
