After being swept by the Minnesota Twins in a doubleheader Wednesday, the Orioles (15-26) are a season-low 11 games under .500 and sporting the worst run differential in the American League at minus-70. It’s a disastrous start for a team that added seven MLB free agents for a combined $105.25 million last winter to contend for a World Series title.

Confidence in the Baltimore Orioles seems to be at an all-time low within the fan base and around the baseball world. It is hard to blame anyone who has thrown in the towel on them given how much they have struggled thus far this season.

The Orioles appeared to have a decent shot at salvaging a split Wednesday after Cedric Mullins hit a grand slam in that six-run third inning. Charlie Morton, battered as a starter so far this season, managed three solid innings of relief, allowing only one run.

Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer allowed two home runs and the Twins secured their ninth straight win to open Wednesday’s doubleheader.

The Minnesota Twins will be aiming for a season sweep of six games with the Baltimore Orioles when the teams meet Thursday afternoon. The Twins own a 10-game winning streak -- the longest in the major leagues this season -- after sweeping a doubleheader in Baltimore on Wednesday.

Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lead the Minnesota Twins to their 10th straight victory, 8-6 over the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader.

After Wednesday's disappointing doubleheader, the Baltimore Orioles sit with a 15-26 record with the season feeling more lost than ever.
