Baltimore Orioles: The O’s Have Won Five Of Their Last Eight Games
The Baltimore Orioles have played some of their best baseball of the season the last nine games.
With their win over the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday the Baltimore Orioles clinched a series victory.
After not earning a single series victory from April 26th to June 26th, the O’s have quietly won two of their last three.
Last weekend, the Orioles took two out of three from the Cleveland Indians winning the first two games of the series 13-0 and dropping the final game 2-0.
The O’s lost two out of three games at Tropicana Field against the Rays after losing Monday and Tuesday 6-3 and winning Wednesday 9-6.
This weekend, however, the Orioles have gotten back to winning days by taking the first two of three games against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Friday Baltimore won by a score of 4-1 after Dylan Bundy tossed 6.1 innings of one-run ball and Chris Davis slugged a home run and recorded three RBI’s.
Saturday, Andrew Cashner followed up Bundy’s quality start by throwing seven innings and allowing just one run. Renato Nunez slugged his 20th home run of the season, and Stevie Wilkerson hit his seventh as the Birds cruised to an 8-1 victory.
With the win, Saturday Baltimore has quietly won five of their last eight ball games and are an even 5-5 in their last 10. They also recorded their first series victory away from Camden Yards since they won two out of three in Toronto in a series that took place April 1st-3rd.
In what’s been a second straight lost season for the Orioles being able to enjoy a streak of winning baseball is priceless.
The O’s will go for their first series sweep of 2019 tomorrow as Asher Wojciechowski will make his second start as an Oriole. The 30-year-old will get a second chance to pitch before the all-star break despite Gabriel Ynoa originally being scheduled to be on the mound
