Hello, friends.
Another day dawns with the Orioles in second place in the American League East, just a half-game behind the division-leading Yankees. As bad as the last four games have been, all it takes is one win and a Yankees loss and the O’s will be back in first. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that they will be heavily relying on Ubaldo Jimenez to stop the losing streak before it can reach five games. The next time that Jimenez has a good game this year against an American League team will be the first time, and he’ll only have to face a lineup that includes Miguel Cabrera.
