That’s not a conclusion built simply on Monday night’s flat 6-0 loss to the Orioles in the swamp air of the Baltimore Heat Dome. It is from nearly a half season’s worth of ugly numbers that have transitioned from small sample size to damming.

The Orioles had just one hit and three base runners in their 7-0 loss to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in the series finale at Camden Yards.

Gary Sánchez, Ramón Urías and Ryan O’Hearn hit back-to-back-to-back home runs to put the Orioles ahead before a gutting loss in extras.
