Manager Buck Showalter knew all about the Orioles’ record-tying 20-game streak of allowing five or more runs in a game.
Before the game, he said: “I’m O.K. if we win 6-5 tonight.”
Showalter is a realist, and cringes when he realizes his team has pitched horribly over the last three weeks.
“It’s an indication we haven’t pitched well, starting-wise. Is that a revelation?” he asked.
