As awful as Sunday was, their ability to keep finding worse and worse ways to lose means even this 22-7 defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays before an announced 8,474 at Camden Yards can’t quite be deemed rock bottom.
After the Orioles (49-97) allowed 11 runs in each game of a doubleheader sweep Saturday, blowing seventh-inning leads in each, Toronto nearly matched that production in one inning in a game that was never close.
Rookie Zac Lowther loaded the bases with Toronto’s first three batters of the game on a single and two walks, hit the fourth with a pitch, then allowed a grand slam to Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
