 Have the Orioles also faced tough pitching? Absolutely. Five of the top eight earned run averages have been the opponents for the Orioles over the last 45 days with Philly, Atlanta, Boston, New York, and Cleveland. And it gets even tougher if you compare the width of teams played. First and second. The 3-2. Swing and a miss. Went past the slider and Mateo's into the glove. There are two down.
