Thursday Bird Droppings: The Orioles played an unusually sloppy game

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

The Orioles, as it turns out, are not going to go undefeated for the rest of the year. After reaching a season-best 25 games over .500 with a blowout win on Tuesday, the O’s turned in a dud last night with one of their sloppiest losses of the season. The Blue Jays’ game-winning rally in the sixth started with two outs and nobody on base when Orioles pitchers issued three consecutive walks, two straight bases-loaded hit batsmen, and a grounder that shaky-of-late shortstop Jorge Mateo booted for a run-scoring error. That’s six batters in a row who reached base, none of them on hits.
