Saturday night Orioles gamethread: at Red Sox, 7:10 pm

Here we are again, friends. Baseball game number 123 out of 162 for the Baltimore Orioles. If you’re interested in the race for last place, AKA the first draft pick in 2020, the Orioles are now just ¹⁄₂ game better than the Detroit Tigers. A few weeks ago the Tigers’ lead seemed almost insurmountable, but the Orioles are always there. Never count these guys out!

If you didn’t hear, Hunter Harvey got called up! He was briefly called up last season, but he never made an appearance. So he still has yet to make his major league debut. I don’t think it’ll take long. I’m looking forward to it! Now that he’s a relief pitcher, Harvey has been pretty lights out at triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles could use a guy like that.
