The Orioles, you guys! They’ve won five consecutive series. They’ve got the second-best record in the American League. And they just followed up a 4-1 road trip with a 5-1 homestand, capped off with a rubber-game victory over the Red Sox yesterday. Life is good in Birdland.
Unfortunately it’ll be a minute before the home fans get to enjoy those positive vibes in person again. Tonight the Orioles begin their longest road trip of the season, a 10-game, three-city tour that won’t wrap up until May 7. First stop: the Motor City.
It’s only April and the Orioles and Tigers are already finishing up their season series in a scheduling oddity.
