Happy Staturday Birdland! It was a really, really weird week of O’s baseball but nonetheless, a great one.

The pitching has caught fire since their three game series in Cincinnati:

The Orioles’ pitching staff has allowed one run over the last 33.1 innings.

In the last two games against the Reds, both relievers and starters put on an absolute clinic:

For two consecutive nights, Orioles’ pitchers have given up only two hits. This is the fifth such streak in Orioles’ history.

You know what great pitching means? The Orioles can actually consistently win low scoring games:

The Orioles have won three consecutive games scoring two runs or fewer. The last time this happened? 1972.

My last stat is a random one, so bear with me. On Wednesday, the Orioles beat the Reds and here’s the (wonky) strikeout count from that night:

Os pitchers threw four strikeouts.

Os batters struck out 16 times.

It was the sixth time in team history that they’ve won while striking out 16 or more times.

It was the first time the Orioles won a game striking out 16 or more times while throwing four or fewer strikeouts.
