The Baltimore Orioles are not like the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees. There’s more to do about which jersey star shortstop Manny Machado will be wearing in a month (or sooner) than the orange and white one he wore Monday.
This is to say that the Seattle Mariners’ four-game stop at Camden Yards amounts to what is essentially a chance to reset themselves off of tumultuous sojourns in Boston and the Bronx.
Orioles pitchers walked 10 batters, intentionally walked another, surrendered the Mariners’ go-ahead run on a wild pitch that bounced off their catcher before he proceeded to inadvertently kick it away.
