Saturday Bird Droppings: Slam-tander pulled the Orioles out of the abyss

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

What. A. Night.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a more dramatic and sudden mood shift in an Orioles game. For seven and a half innings, the O’s were dead in the water, destined for yet another listless defeat, which would have dropped them 2.5 games back in the AL East and shaved their lead for the first Wild Card to a single game.

Around the top of the eighth inning, I was feeling more discouraged about the Orioles than I have in probably three years. Their injury-riddled rotation once again put the O’s in an early hole.
