Good Morning, Birdland,
Well, it seems the Cleveland Guardians have the Orioles’ number. The O’s lost 8-4 on Friday night, an ugly evening that was only saved by the debut of Coby Mayo and a nice showing from Jackson Holliday (2-for-3, walk, run scored). In five attempts this year, the Orioles have lost four times to the Guardians.
There’s no shame in that fact. The Guardians are really good. Record-wise, they are the best team in Major League Baseball! But these are the teams that the Orioles will need to compete with in order to earn the ultimate prize.
