Welp, it was fun while it lasted.
After winning their last four games at Camden Yards against the Yankees, the O’s found themselves on the usual short end of the stick tonight, dropping the second game of the series by a 5-1 score. A litany of missed scoring opportunities and a dreadful starting pitching performance conspired to doom the Birds.
Orioles starter Bruce Zimmermann, it must be said, has been trending in the wrong direction since the season began. After a dazzling spring training performance won him a rotation spot, he began the year with a quality start (6 IP, 3 ER) and a victory in Boston.
