Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters! How are you enjoying your long weekend? The Orioles didn’t have a great day yesterday, losing to the Rays by a 5-1 score. If you missed the details, Joe Wedra’s recap has them. Today they will be going for a series win with Kevin Gausman on the mound. That guy can be pretty good!
If the Orioles do win today, they will go 5-6 on the road trip, which is actually pretty amazing. That sounds kind of pathetic in the big picture, but here we are.

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! You are celebrating with former Oriole Miguel Gonzalez, who turns 34 years old today. Our old friend and mariachi singer had a rough start to the 2018 season with the White Sox and has recently gone onto the 60-day DL with rotator cuff inflamation. Get well soon, Miguel!
On this day in 1960, catcher Clint Courtney used a glove 50% bigger than usual to watch knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm and had great success. Sadly the giant glove was later banned. It was a really big glove.
