Orioles get swept for 1st time in 2023, lose AL Division Series in 3 games to Rangers

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Gunnar Henderson and the Baltimore Orioles picked the wrong week to get swept for the first time in 2023. After winning 101 games and finishing the regular season with the American League’s best record, the Orioles trailed by six runs after just two innings Tuesday night. The Orioles went 52 series over the entire 2023 regular season without getting swept, a first for the franchise since it moved to Baltimore in 1954. First and third game, had a tough time.” Baltimore loaded the bases against hard-throwing Aroldis Chapman with two outs in the eighth, but José Leclerc retired pinch-hitter Aaron Hicks on a grounder to first. But we got the taste of playoff baseball, and that’s what I’m looking forward to — continuing that.” Dean Kremer started both clinching games for the Orioles in the regular season, the one that secured a playoff spot and the 100th victory that ensured the AL East title.
