Hello, friends.
The Orioles played the kind of game last night that they’ve played periodically this season, where even though they ended up losing you can (if you’re so inclined) really believe there are some sparks of hope for a better future. Battling back from a five-run deficit to tie up the game, in part thanks to Ryan Mountcastle’s two home runs and Adley Rutschman getting his first big league RBI with a home run, was encouraging.
Alas, the Orioles still lost, because it’s hard to win when your starting pitcher gives up six runs in 4.
