Technically, for the Orioles to face the team with the best record in the American League and take two of three games IS good...but not at this point in the season, where every game matters. Not last night, when there was a game to be gained on Seattle. And not the way it happened: a well-rested bullpen squandering a totally winnable game with a nine-run collapse.
It sucks. But there is still Sunday baseball to be played, so scrape yourself off the floor and get behind the Birds and Austin Voth today!
The right-hander Voth has been a ridiculous under-the-radar pickup for Baltimore, which somehow helped him flip a 10-plus ERA through June with Washington into a 2.
