Hello, friends.
The Orioles! Okay, maybe they don’t deserve the exclamation point after only one win. The Orioles. We don’t have to sigh, at least not based on last night. They chased away the malaise from the first two games in Cleveland with a solid win over the Guardians, combining a good outing from the starting pitcher, an offense that put together some great at-bats and got great results from that, and a defense that didn’t make any crucial mistakes.
Check out Stacey’s recap of the game for more of the lovely totals, including, if you want to feel optimistic about a game or two, continuing signs that Jackson Holliday’s looking better in his return to the MLB level, and maybe even that Adley Rutschman is starting to leave behind the slump that has plagued him for over a month.
