Good morning, Birdland!
West coast games are already pretty rough for those of us in the Baltimore area given the late start times. They are worse when you go to sleep with the Orioles leading and wake up to see them lose it late. in case you missed it, Mark stayed up late to provide a recap of the 8-7 heartbreaker.
But a loss does not mean that everything that happened in the game was bad. In fact, there was actually a lot of very good news despite the defeat.
Trey Mancini hit the longest home run by an Oriole all season last night, a 451-foot bomb to dead center.
