Tuesday Bird Droppings: Kicking off August with the first-place Baltimore Orioles

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! July is over and the Orioles are still flying high. It was an incredible month for the Orioles, who went 17-9 without playing a single below .500 team.

They started the month 6.5 games back of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays and finished 1.5 games ahead. That required the Rays to play poorly, of course, but the Orioles still had to do their part to take advantage. They certainly did that.

In last night’s final game of the month, the Orioles defeated the Blue Jays by a score of 4-2. Kyle Gibson pitched six innings with just one run allowed, Gunnar Henderson homered and made several killer plays at third base, and Ryan Mountcastle continued his dominance of the Blue Jays.
