st the Toronto Blue Jays this season.So Wilmer Difo Jersey , it seemed fitting their AL East rival handed them a record-setting loss.The Blue Jays beat the Orioles 6-4 on Tuesday night. Baltimore dropped its 108th game, setting a record for most losses in Orioles history. The overall franchise record for defeats is 111 by the 1939 St. Louis Browns.Article continues below ...Toronto can complete a three-game sweep Wednesday at Camden Yards.“I’ve got too many things and people depending on me to do certain things between now and the end of the season,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about the losses. “I think because it’s unpleasant to wrap around, probably I’m as guilty as anybody of staying tunnel vision about what we’re doing every day trying to do what’s best.”The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have also struggled throughout the season. However, Toronto has found a way to consistently beat the Orioles, going 14-4 against their AL East rival.Toronto is using the final stretch of the season to get an extended look at some young players. Manager John Gibbons has been impressed with the overall talent, especially catchers Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire, first baseman Rowdy Tellez, shortstop Richard Urena, second baseman Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and pitcher Aaron Sanchez.“There’s something I like in all of them, there really is,” Gibbons said. “Go down the line, I like what both of the young catchers are doing, though it gets tougher from here on out. I’m excited about Tellez.“I think Richie Urena is just scratching the surface. I think Gurriel is starting to come into his own Brian Goodwin Jersey , figuring some things out. Those are the really young guys. And like everybody else, I’m curious to see where Sanchy goes with the finger stuff. So, yeah, stay tuned.”Marco Estrada, who last pitched in New York on Friday, will start the finale. Estrada (7-12, 5.75 ERA) wasn’t scheduled to pitch until Thursday but he threw only 55 pitches in his last outing against the Yankees, allowing eight runs and six hits over 2 2/3 innings.Estrada is 9-2 with a 3.55 ERA in 18 appearances (16 starts) against Baltimore.“It’s been about as bad as it can get,” Estrada said after the setback against the Yankees. “I’m struggling out there and it’s not fun. I need to figure it out, get things going in the right direction. If not, take care of everything this offseason and get ready for next year.”The Orioles still have not named a starter for Wednesday because several pitchers are sidelined with injuries. Alex Cobb is dealing with a blister and Andrew Cashner has a knee injury. Rookie Luis Ortiz injured his hamstring during his first major league start Friday and is shut down for the year.“It will be predicated on how we get through the night,” Showalter said.Baltimore has 11 games remaining in the 2018 season and the franchise can continue building toward the future. The players are ready to put this season behind and begin with a clean slate starting in 2019.“It’s frustrating to say the least,” said first baseman Chris Davis, who is having the worst season of his professional career. “Once we hit 100, it was just kind of like, I don’t know. I mean http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-adams-jersey , I honestly had no words for it. It was embarrassing, it was frustrating. It’s one of those things you never want to be associated with. At the same time, you’ve got to learn how to turn the page and start somewhere. Why not start now? I mean, I’m not sure where we’re headed, but at some point you’ve got to change it up, I guess.” Marlin pitching was nearly perfect as they pick up another W in Grapefruit League action."WhiteFanposts Sections News & RumorsAnalysisPodcastsProspects & DraftGame CoverageFull ArchiveMasthead Social Marlins Players on TwitterFish Stripes on InstagramMarlins Media Members Fish Stripes Best of 2018 Marlins StoriesScheduleRosterStatsCommunity Guidelines StubHub 鉁昅iami Marlins Game CoverageMarlins pitching shines, defeats Astros, 3-0New,2commentsMarlin pitching was nearly perfect as they pick up another W in Grapefruit League action.ESTShareTweetShareShareMarlins pitching shines, defeats Astros, 3-0JUPITER, Fla.—The Miami Marlins put on a pitching clinic at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, and defeated the Houston Astros, 3-0.With Josa already penciled in as the Opening Day starter, Dan Straily made a strong case for himself as the No. 2 man in this young rotation. The right-hander threw two complete innings of shutout baseball, and allowed no hits while striking out three batters.Straily said that he wanted to work on his changeup since it wasn’t effective earlier in the week during practice. However Brandon Kintzler Jersey , he decided to improvise in the heat of competition:Through the first three games of the spring, the Marlins’ bullpen had amassed a 6.11 ERA in 28 IP. Tuesday was a much-needed change of pace.SergioRomo, who was signed by the Fish two weeks ago, made his Miami debut and pitched a perfect inning. He struck out the side on 13 pitches in the third inning.Despite being the most experienced pitcher on the 40-man roster and a veteran of three World Series runs with the Giants, Romo took this assignment seriously. As explained afterward in the clubhouse, he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way (h/t Andre Fernandez, The Athletic):Through six innings, the Marlins offense was also quiet. The only starter to record a hit was Neil Walker. They finally broke through with the first run of the game in the seventh, when HaroldRam铆rez singled to drive home Isaac Galloway.
