They dropped the series finale though, 3-2, and then travelled to Miami where they lost back-to-back meetings with the Marlins, 6-4 and 6-3.
Baltimore avoided being swept as they won the final meeting 7-6, and that pattern repeated itself at home to San Diego as they lost 6-4 and 9-4 before winning 8-6.
The Orioles backed up that win with an 11-5 victory over Toronto, and then rebounded from an 8-4 loss to the Rays with 6-2 and 10-4 successes.
