After the opener of this series, when I wasted my time staying up until 1 in the morning to watch the Orioles lose an easily winnable game in 15 innings, I tramped to bed grumbling about the latest O’s debacle. Why, I asked myself, can’t the Orioles just have a nice, easy game, for once in their lives? Just one game where they take an early lead, and actually hold onto it, and cruise to a win without any shenanigans whatsoever?
“OK, done,” said the Orioles.
Wait, what? They can just.
