Good morning, Birdland!
Last night’s win was pretty great, right? The Orioles starter got through five innings. The offense didn’t look completely impotent. Cedric Mullins got back on track. And the bullpen was great! Plus, they wrapped up the win in a speedy two hours and 32 minutes.
It wasn’t perfect, of course. The Orioles lineup went silent in the final four frames, and Trey Mancini’s 0-for-4, four strikeout performance was particularly concerning. But let’s stick with the positives. This is only the team’s second win in that last eight games. There will be plenty of time for dragging them later on.
