Coming into this game, the Orioles were hurting. They’d given up 38 runs in the last four games, and as Mike Bordick and Jim Hunter reminded us before the first pitch, their staff are league bottom dwellers in wins (T-23rd), innings pitched (T-25th), runs allowed (2nd most), and home runs allowed (most). Andrew Cashner has been something of a bright spot, but as Bordick pointed out, the big guy isn’t the swing-and-miss pitcher he used to be.
Well, that made it all the more fun to stomp the White Sox behind a lights-out performance by the staff.
