Swept Away -- Jays Sweep the Orioles, Now the Losing Streak at 5 in a Row...

Well, we have been swept by the Toronto Blue Jays, who are for the most part decimated by injuries. The Orioles' pitching was good this series, but the Jays' pitching was markedly better.

The offense has been ineffective for the Birds, and now the losing streak is at five.

Next, are the so-called lowly Nats' -- just that they have won 5 out of their last 6, and two of their pitchers took no-hitters into the latter innings of ball games as of late.

Covering them for MVN.com, their offense may be lackluster, but they play with a lot of heart, so they should give the Orioles a challenge.

Do not underestimate the Nationals.

Maybe the Orioles will turn the tide ths weekend.
