Fourteen-game winning streak, here we come!
One night after halting the second-longest slide in O’s history, the Orioles bagged their second straight win over the Twins, 6-3, to earn their first home series win of the year and their first back-to-back victories in more than a month.
A 19-37 record is still an eyesore. But these last two evenings of O’s baseball have brought refreshing competence. Tonight, it was a full team effort, with four pitchers joining forces to stymie the Twins while DJ Stewart and Ryan Mountcastle delivered prodigious home runs.
With last Saturday’s doubleheader throwing the Orioles’ rotation order out of whack, the Birds elected to start Matt Harvey tonight on short rest and with a short leash.
