It’s already getting ugly for Orioles fans and I’m going to have to break out those Earl Weaver years retrospectives sooner just to lighten the mood. The Orioles were swept by the Twins and this time it was Ramon Ortiz who did a number on the Twins. While that was happening, Jaret Wright was getting shelled to the tune of six runs (four earned) in 2 1/3 innings. Give some props to the pen for not letting it get too out of hand but it didn’t matter because the Orioles had no punch.
The Orioles scattered six hits in the game. Melvin Mora doubled, scored and drove in a run while Brian Roberts tripled and scored. And guess what, it doesn’t get any easier because the Orioles roll into New York for three games. I’m having 1988 flashbacks.
