Once again, the Orioles at least split the season series with the Nats, and very possibly win it.   Now in 17 seasons since the two teams have coexisted in this area, the Nationals have only won the season series twice.

2006 Orioles 3 Nationals 3  
2007 2-4
2008 3-3
2009 4-2
2010 4-2
2011 3-3
2012 4-2
2013 3-1
2014 3-1
2015 4-2
2016 3-1
2017 2-2
2018 1-5
2019 2-2
2020 4-2
2021 3-3
2022 3-1 or 2-2

Go Os!

Two things seem apparent to me so far. 

1. The O's are going to swing at almost every pitch
2. The home plate ump is going to squeeze Tyler Wells

[Jagwar]

Man the Nats just aren't that scary without Soto in the lineup

Seriously, what a piss poor approach to PATRICK CORBIN in the first inning. Dude is 6-18 and there’s a chance we make him look like a CYN tonight. The lack of plate discipline is terrible. 

[Jagwar]

That's the first time I've seen Aguilar hit the ball hard

[Hallas]

Why McKenna is hitting above Henderson is a galactic mystery that we will never uncover the answer to.

I saw him drill one up the middle

last week. 
 

Man, Corbin has to be bad if Aguilar is ripping shots like that.

That was SO last week

[Moose Milligan]

That could have been so much worse than it was. 
 

Still prepared for them to screw up and score no runs here.

Unless you actually look up McKenna's stats vs lefties this year.

[Jagwar]

That was just ugly. I thought the catcher didn't give Santander a lane to the plate. Also thought the catcher juggled the ball. Guess Hyde saw it differently

[eddie83]

Worst place to hit it. Lucky it wasn’t 2. 

[ORIOLE33]

Santander must be the slowing runner in baseball.
