Scuffling Orioles seek to get their ‘mojo’ back before the playoffs

Associated Press  

BALTIMORE — Depleted by injuries and entrenched in a prolonged hitting slump, the Baltimore Orioles are desperate to regain their winning ways as they stumble to the finish of the regular season. “The mojo that we’ve had has just drifted away from us the last few months,” Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Tuesday. Baltimore scored three runs in three games against Tampa Bay, was outscored 20-11 while dropping two of three at Boston and last weekend managed to score only six runs in three games at Detroit. “A lot of people are pressing to make up for other people’s absences or their own slumps,” Elias said. I really believe that we’re going to rally down the stretch, kind of get our identity back.” The Orioles began a three-game series at home against the Giants with Tuesday night’s loss.
