BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles are enjoying their best stretch of the season and will get a better gauge of their progress against the Philadelphia Phillies in the opening of a two-game series Tuesday at Camden Yards.
While the Orioles (13-28) remain in last place in the American League East, they have won five of their past six games. Baltimore is also coming off consecutive series wins for the first time this year.
The offense has been the catalyst for the recent surge. The Orioles have scored 58 runs in their last seven games.
