Orioles bats come up small again as Atlanta wins 3-2 in 11 innings to take weekend series: https://t.co/bZVSmXd7lw

[Luke Jones @BaltimoreLuke]

The Orioles went a combined 4-for-27 with runners in scoring position in the series.

Craig Albernaz: "It's just one of those things where everyone just has to step up a little bit to pick up the slack. Atlanta has some real arms. ... It was really tough to navigate offensively."

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: The Orioles had the bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom of the 10th and didn’t score. Atlanta plated one in the 11th, and that held up for a 3-2 victory to take the series.

Baltimore is 51-55 with six games to go until the trade deadline.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Well, that bottom of the 10th was a punch to the gut for the Orioles.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Tyler Wells strands two to pitch a scoreless top of the 10th. With the top of the order due up, the Orioles can walk it off and win a series.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: We'll go to extra innings at Camden Yards. #Orioles

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: What would have been the game-ending double play went right between Ozzie Albies' legs, which preceded a game-tying grounder by Jackson Holliday.

It's amazing how crucial bad defense on both sides has been in this series.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Pete Alonso has made this a one-run game with one swing. His 22nd home run of the season has made it 2-1 in the last of the eighth. #Orioles

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: You'd rather Anthony Nunez not walk two to create the jam, but critical work striking out Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson to escape the jam. The Orioles trail 2-0 to Atlanta as they stretch at Camden Yards.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: The outfield defense hasn't done Shane Baz many favors this afternoon as Atlanta leads 2-0 over the Orioles going to the last of the fourth. Baz is at 83 pitches.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: The Orioles are out of ABS challenges in the top of the third inning. That's... not great.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Atlanta has an early 1-0 lead after a Michael Harris single, a Colton Cowser error allowing him to advance to second, a fly out allowing Harris to move to third, and then a Dominic Smith single to plate the run. #Orioles

Orioles waste scoring chances before bullpen, defense crumble in 7-6 loss to Atlanta in 10 innings: https://t.co/tUYC1sVReG

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Andrew Kittredge came that close to escaping a big-time jam stemming from the Jackson Holliday error, but Matt Olson clubs a three-run homer into right-center. Atlanta leads 7-3 over the Orioles in the 10th.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: And the Orioles defense rears its ugly head in the 10th inning.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: The Orioles have had a slew of opportunities in this ballgame, but they'll go to extra innings. They've left 10 on base and gone 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

[WNST Baltimore Positive @WNST]

Luke: Tyler Wells pitches a scoreless top of the ninth, and the Orioles will have a chance to walk one off. It's 3-3.
