Good morning, Birdland!
I do not enjoy when the Orioles are in Arizona. It gives me flashbacks to 2013, when they made a mid-August trip to the desert. That team entered the series in fine form, only 1.5 games back of a playoff spot. But it went downhill from there. They had the lead in all three games against the Diamondbacks that week, and they lost all three, each in walk-off fashion. Jim Johnson had a particularly bad time, blowing two saves. Including those three losses, the Orioles finished the season 20-25, out of the playoffs by 6.
