LAA 1/BAL 3

MLB.TVOriole Park at Camden Yards
Things to say

The Orioles beat the Angels 3-1 at Camden Yards on Tuesday.

01
opener
Classic 3-1 grind at Camden. Orioles pitching just choked the Angels out all night. Wasn't pretty but they took care of business at home.
02
key player
Baltimore's starter was the story — got into his stuff early and cruised, kept the heart of that Angels order off balance into the seventh.
03
hot take
Angels are done, man. Forty-three and seventy and no bats — you can't score one run and expect to hang with anybody.
04
deep cut
Quiet one, but the O's bullpen slammed the door without any drama for once. That's been their whole problem all year.
05
exit
Anyway, O's are still swimming under .500 — let's see if they can string a couple together before they slip out of it.
The recap

Baltimore took care of business at Camden Yards, grinding out a 3-1 win over the Angels on a getaway day. It was a low-scoring grind where pitching carried the load, and the Orioles' arms kept LA's bats quiet all afternoon.

The Angels never got anything going against the heart of the Baltimore staff, managing just a single run. It's a needed W for the O's as they try to climb back toward .500, while the Angels drop deeper into the hole at 43-70.
