They got it done. With Wednesday night’s 10-5 win over the Blue Jays, the Orioles achieved two firsts of their 2018 season: their first series sweep at home, and their first sweep of a three-game series, period. Their only other undefeated series came in two games against the Mets at Citi Field back in early June.
This was the sort of series that many envisioned for this team back when the season was just getting underway. The pitching had moments of brilliance, like their shutout in game one, but the offense was the real star, scoring 29 runs on 41 hits across the three-game set.
