Hello, friends.
The streak of not being swept lives! By winning in Arizona on Saturday night, the Orioles have now not been swept for 83 straight series, tied for the third-best such streak in all of MLB history (1922-24 Yankees also had 83) and the best consecutive no-sweep series streak since the end of World War II. Last night’s win was the 84th Orioles victory of the season, exceeding their total from last year on September 2. Pretty cool.
Even more fun than that, the Rays got walked off in the 11th inning by the Guardians on Saturday, so the Orioles later victory over the Diamondbacks kicked the O’s AL East lead back up to 2.
