The Orioles have responded to the disappointment of being swept by the Cardinals by winning eight of the next nine games. This has included four of five against the Red Sox and Rays, with only an 8-3 loss to Boston in the middle game of that series stopping it from being a nine game winning streak. They’ve got a chance to make it a sweep of the Rays here on Sunday afternoon.
They haven’t always felt like very good games. It seems to be a specialty of this era of the Orioles to find ways to win the ones that just seem stacked against them.
