Hello, friends.
The Orioles...? Although it seemed as though Seranthony Domínguez was determined to make it otherwise, the team managed to beat the Tigers on Saturday evening. Corbin Burnes was dominant over seven innings, the O’s finally had a mini-offensive explosion, and they were able to hold on for a 4-2 win. Check out John Beers’s recap for more of the lovely but also kind of nerve-wracking totals.
Let’s get the postseason math out of the way. Last night’s win was a big one for the Orioles moving towards securing any wild card spot, as beating the closest non-wild card competition slashed the clinch anything magic number (Orioles wins + Tigers losses) from 8 down to 6.
