Good morning, Birdland!
It’s only two games, but they are the two most important games the Orioles have played in a while. If the O’s get a quick sweep, they will be within three games of first place in the AL East for the first time since late May. A sweep in favor of the Rays would make it a seven-game deficit, the largest of the season for the Orioles.
If ever there was a time to face the Rays, right now might be it. They’ve lost two in a row and four out of their last six.
