Spring training came almost too easy to this Orioles team, and then came the regular season and a buzzsaw of tough lefties. Or at least… some lefties.
Thus far, early in the season the Orioles offense has run hot and cold. After scoring 24 runs over its first two games, Baltimore drove in just 12 over the next four. That included five runs against an ineffective Patrick Sandoval for Los Angeles on Opening Day, but just one run against Angels lefty Reid Detmers and none against Kansas City’s Cole Ragans. Not that this stopped them from a thrilling walkoff win last night.
