Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Wait. There must be some mistake. I’m poring over the Orioles’ box score from last night, and it says they...didn’t win? They...scored fewer runs than their opponent? Is that even allowed?
Alas, the impossible has happened: the Baltimore Orioles have lost a baseball game. Their 5-4 defeat to open a three-game series in Tampa Bay was their first loss since July 2 in Minnesota, snapping their epic 10-game win streak. If just one or two small things had gone differently — if Austin Hays had been playing left field instead of Anthony Santander, or if Brandon Hyde had pulled Tyler Wells one batter earlier — the O’s could well have made it 11 in a row.
