The Orioles will play their 50th game this week, but the club has already provided more excitement than some teams experience all year. Baltimore entered the week with a 9-5 record in one-run games and a 3-2 margin in contests that went beyond nine innings.
The Birds rarely blow teams out, but they’re never out of a game. Their captivating style of play keeps hitters confident, high-leverage relievers busy, and fans on the edge of their seats late in games. Baltimore has its sights set on the postseason, and the battle-tested group should feel right at home when playing with the game on the line.
