There’s really only so much that can be said in these gamethreads at this point in a lengthy losing streak. Watching the Orioles play baseball is not the most enjoyable experience. John Means was good on Saturday, but even that wasn’t enough because the offense was shut down completely by his White Sox counterpart, Lance Lynn.
It will be Keegan Akin’s turn to stop the bleeding as he makes his big league start of the season following four appearances in relief. But the task ahead of him is rather tall—literally and figuratively. Lucas Giolito starts on the mound for Chicago.
