Hello, friends.
The Orioles pitching... doesn’t suck? What is this feeling? The O’s picked up a 1-0 win over the Athletics last night, picking up their third team shutout in the first 12 games of the season. Three shutouts! The 2019 and 2021 Orioles teams each mustered only five shutouts over a whole 162 game season. They have allowed just 37 runs to date, which is 3.08 per game on average. It’s almost unbelievable. Then again, so is the offense only scoring 24 runs.
These unbelievable facts in tandem make their 4-8 record completely believable. Check out Tyler Young’s recap of the game for the lovely totals from the first road Orioles victory of the season.
