Thursday Bird Droppings: The Orioles magic number for the AL East is down to 20

Hello, friends.

It’s been a week of late nights for any east coast Orioles fans who’ve stayed up for their series against the Angels, but we must admit that they’ve made it worth it overall. On Wednesday night they finally played the comfortable one we’ve all been hoping for, finishing off the sweep of the Angels by a 10-3 margin. They needed to take care of business against the rapidly fading Angels and that’s exactly what they did.

The 12-hit effort by the Orioles offense included four hits by Austin Hays and three by Anthony Santander. These two guys escalated the game well into blowout territory with back-to-back jacks in the eighth inning that plated three Orioles runs, turning a 7-3 lead into the 10-3 final score.
