The Orioles were unable to put history on hold, blowing a two-run seventh-inning lead Tuesday night on their way to a 6-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays that officially gave this year’s team the new distinction in franchise futility.
With the setback, the Orioles lost their 108th game, the most in the club’s 65-year history, breaking the mark set by the 1988 club three decades ago.
The defeat was like many others this season with the Orioles finding a way to lose, allowing four unearned runs in a seventh inning distinguished by the type of defensive miscues that have been abundant this year.
