After a ugly showing from the Angels on Wednesday that allowed the Orioles to finally snap their 19-game losing streak, the hope was that they would bounce back for today’s matinee contest and end their long road trip on a high note. To put it mildly, however, that did not happen, as the team put in an even worse showing in a series-ending 13-1 drubbing in Baltimore.
Despite how bad that final score is, the Halos actually got off to about as good of a start as you could hope for, with Shohei Ohtani leading off the game with his 41st home run of the season and his first career longball at Camden Yards, a moonshot off of Orioles starter Keegan Akin that gave them an early 1-0 lead.
