Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The dreams of an undefeated Orioles season are shattered. The O’s took a lopsided 14-2 loss at the hands of the Rays in Sarasota yesterday, dropping them to 2-1 in Grapefruit League play.
Oh well. We’ll just have to settle for an undefeated regular season.
It was a rough afternoon for a few pitchers battling to make the Orioles roster. Baltimore’s own Bruce Zimmermann, who’s on the outside looking in for a rotation spot, gave up a pair of runs on a Wander Franco first-inning homer. Joey Krehbiel, one of a crowded field of candidates for the bullpen, coughed up three runs in an inning of work, including dingers by Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena.
