Two months into their time together, Monday represented perhaps one of the biggest early tests for Brandon Hyde's Orioles and the "just roll with it" attitude the manager is trying to instill in his young team, with a three-game sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees — punctuated by a 15-3 loss — testing the positive outlook he's fostered.
Monday night's 12-4 win over the Oakland Athletics, in his mind, was the proper response, one in which the Orioles defended well, ran like mad and collected 15 hits to pull back to .500 at 5-5.
