Good morning, Birdland!
Honestly, it took longer than I expected, but the Orioles starting pitching has hit the skids. As a unit, they own a 5.27 ERA this season. That is fourth-worst in baseball. It’s been even worse since May 1, during which time they have a 5.85 ERA. And that brings us to June, a month in which they now have a 7.34 ERA, 0.80 worse than any other team in the sport.
It has been a particularly tough stretch for Bruce Zimmermann, who has allowed 27 runs over 25.2 innings in his five most recent starts.
