The resurgence of the Orioles is real
By scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to save themselves with a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels yesterday, the Baltimore Orioles proved beyond any doubt that their descent into hell was about to end.
Brandon Hyde’s men have thus recorded a sixth straight win and are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel, even if they still occupy the last place in the very competitive American League East Division.
For several years, the Orioles have started seasons feeling helpless due to a lack of resources to face well-oiled machines such as the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays and Blue Jays. Over the disastrous seasons, fans have built a thick shell and continued to believe in it.
With great blows of selections of hopes, the Orioles seem ready to move on to another level, that of respectability.
Orioles players are keeping their heads held high so they don’t stumble as they try to climb the ladder and their performances could even pay dividends this season as they find themselves four games away from a runners-up spot in the Premier League. American.
They are also four games behind the Blue Jays, who must be wary of them in the standings.
Led in attack from the top of the formation, the Orioles are dynamic and command the respect of opposing pitchers in each game. Cedric Mullins, Trey Mancini and Ryan Mountcastle are regulars and are supported by the Austin Hays and Anthony Santander.
Yesterday, rookie Adley Rutschman entered the game as a pinch hitter and drove in an important run.
Trey Mancini continues to be an inspiration to his family, he who fought cancer a few years ago. Yesterday, he drove in the game-winning run in a game-winning ninth inning for the Orioles.
Despite an unenviable place in the standings of their division, the Orioles are no longer the poor relations and will be one to watch by the end. After all, they would be ranked third in the other two divisions in the American.
- Ronald Acuna Jr. is an emotional guy.
- Will Kevin Gausman pitch on Tuesday?
- Three great innings for Jacob deGrom in the minors.
- James Paxton can’t wait to get back.
