Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters. It’s been a good weekend in Birdland! Back-to-back double digit wins against the Indians that also came with strong pitching performances. The Orioles are still a bad team but this weekend they haven’t looked like it.
Last night’s game featured seven shutout innings from Andrew Cashner and home runs from Anthony Santander, Chance Sisco, and Renato Núñez. You can get all of the fun details in Paul Folkemer’s game recap.
Prior to last night’s win, the Orioles had gone almost two months since they won back-to-back games and over two months since winning a series. Today they have the chance to do something they haven’t done this entire season: get a sweep. It won’t be easy, though with Gabriel Ynoa facing off against Shane Bieber. You might remember Bieber from earlier in the season when he struck out 15 Orioles as part of a complete game shutout.
