Three pitchers combined for nine walks. Three of them scored, and the Orioles dropped further behind in the race for an American League wild-card spot.
After right-hander Chris Tillman walked six in his first start since Aug. 3 and right-hander Brad Brach walked two in the eighth inning, Kole Calhoun scored on pinch hitter Cameron Maybin’s single to right against right-hander Mychal Givens and the Orioles lost to the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 before 24,715 at Oriole Park Aug. 20.
For the second consecutive series, the Orioles dropped two of three, and as a result, are four games below .500 for the first time since July 30.
