Orioles brutal loss on Wednesday reminded me of one from 1986

On Wednesday, June 18th, the Orioles lost to the Rays 12-8 after having an 8-0 lead in the second inning. They didn’t even get a hit after the second.

It reminded me of a game in 1986 when they lost to the Rangers 13-11 even though the Orioles hit two grand slams in a 9-run inning. I listened to that game on the radio.

It also reminded John Eisenberg of the 1986 game:
