You deserved more run support tonight, John Means. | Photo by Greg Fiume/ This game didn’t matter a whole lot to the standings, and the Orioles hit like it, with just three base knocks all game. A post-clinching hangover? Manager Brandon Hyde resting a few of the starters? Gunnar Henderson had the night off, and Adley Rutschman and Ramón Urías were late scratches with “something going around the clubhouse.” (Was that something “We drank our faces off after winning the AL East last night”?) Whatever it was, the Orioles offense didn’t show up to this Friday...

Orioles beat Nats for 99th win, move one victory away from clinching
