Trumbo's misplay in right field opens door for 3-run 8th as White Sox rally past Orioles, 3-2

This season's woeful Orioles start was mostly attributed to the team's uneven roster, with too many passengers who weren't pulling their weight and too many hitters playing not just out of position, but playing positions at all.

Things have improved some of late. But they lost Tuesday night, 3-2 to the Chicago White Sox, the only team worse than them so far, because that same lack of depth forced them to take risks that backfired spectacularly in a loss that ranks as low as any this year.

Mark Trumbo, playing right field to get the bat that produced two doubles and drove in a run into the lineup, ran a long way out there on a towering fly ball into the corner to lead off the eighth inning and saw it bang off his glove for a triple that sparked a three-run rally to reverse the Orioles' 2-0 lead.
