Another day, another loss to the Rays. Make that four straight in this five-game series. Decent pitching wasn’t enough to overcome an truly inept offensive performance and the end result was a pretty boring game and a 3-1 loss.
Despite getting into jams nearly every inning, starter Jorge López put together a quality start. But a quality start wasn’t nearly good enough to overcome an offense that only scored one run. That run came in very first inning, an inning of wasted chances. With one out, the Orioles loaded the bases on a double from Jose Iglesias, a walk by DJ Stewart, and a single from Ryan Mountcastle.
