It seems as if, suddenly, some of the chatter about the Orioles' implosion has vanished, at least for the time being.
Three straight wins and a move back to .500 won't catapult the Orioles back into the postseason, but there have been enough hopeful signs during the past few days that perhaps the 2017 season will amount to something.
The Orioles' 3-1 win against the Toronto Blue Jays June 27 was noteworthy for several reasons.
It was their third consecutive road win, and that's something they hadn't accomplished since April 12-14, when they won the final game of a two-game series in Boston and the first two of a three-game series in Toronto.
