Orioles drop their fourth consecutive game
The Orioles seem to be hitting a rough patch as their struggle continues. The team dropped the series opener against the Guardians, failing to score more than two runs. Defensively, they surrendered three and dropped their record to 49-29.
The Orioles have one of the best offensive teams as they lead the league with 125 home runs and 405 runs. They also have the most number of RBIs at 394. At present, the team is facing a slump since they were swept by the Houston Astros in their last series.
While they did win against the New York Yankees, their start against the Guardians did not go well. Nonetheless, the franchise is predicted to make it to the playoffs again this season.
