The last time Zach Britton blew a save, the start of the 2016 primaries was still weeks away. "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" was atop the box office. Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" was battling two tracks from The Weeknd for the top spot on the charts. Pope Francis was about to make the first U.S. trip of his papacy.

Reset the clock. It turns out Britton is human, after all.

The Orioles closer came on in the ninth Wednesday to preserve a 7-5 lead. He only got one out, off the game-tying sacrifice fly from Oakland's Matt Joyce.
