Buck notes: #Orioles will make a second lineup chancge; Sisco unavailable because of cut and concussion protocol; Whatever you want to call it, opener/piggyback/tandem, it’s being done more out of necessity than strategy.

Buck notes: Dillon Tate and John Means did some side work in extended today; Sisco unavailable as he’s being checked for concussion and for his cut; Wilkerson back soon; lineup will change soon. #Orioles

Chris Davis is in the newest edition of the Orioles lineup at first base, and Trey Mancini moves from first base to left field, and Joey Rickard, who was not in the first lineup but was in the second, is back out. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnUxHlsX4AA8MW_.jpg

#Orioles -#BlueJays slated to bring at approximately 7:30 pm

Evan Phillips' first pitch as a big league starter is a 93-mph fastball for a called strike after a 30-minute delay. We are doing this. #Orioles

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/17/2018 11:35:59 PM
Evan Phillips had a 1-2-3, 13-pitch first inning with two strikeouts for the Orioles.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/17/2018 11:41:17 PM
After retiring the first five hitters he faced, Pillar hits a double for the first hit of the game. Gilmartin warming for #Orioles #BlueJays

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/17/2018 11:53:04 PM
And the #Orioles trail 1-0 after a RBI single by Tellez.

Danny Jansen hit a high home run to left field and the Orioles trail 3-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/17/2018 11:54:51 PM
Gilmartin entered the game in the third and worked around a one-out single by Gurriel for a scoreless inning. #Orioles trail #BlueJays 3-0.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 12:12:57 AM
Nunez with a leadoff single in the third for the #Orioles ' first hit of the night.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 12:15:01 AM
With two on and no outs, #BlueJays nearly pull off triple play on grounder to shortstop. Nunez hesitated going to 3B as 6-4-3 was executed, was nearly thrown out at 3B. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 12:17:44 AM
Replay shows Gurriel had Wynns' line drive in his glove, let ball hit ground (looks like on purpose) and turned double play. Buck came out to argue, but to no avail. After Mullins grounds out, inning is over. #Orioles trail #Bluejays 3-0.

The crowd tonight at Camden Yards for #Orioles and #BlueJays after start was delayed 30 minutes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnVgnNQX0AAQsWB.jpg

Jonathan Villar singled and stole two bags in the fourth, but did not score. The Orioles trail 3-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/18/2018 12:41:47 AM
Sean Gilmartin's three scoreless innings of relief have his ERA down to 3.26 in 19 1/3 innings, lowest of anyone in an Orioles uniform this year not named Danny Valencia or Richard Bleier. They trail 3-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/18/2018 12:47:25 AM
Four scoreless innings for Sean Gilmartin in relief. He's retired 12 of 13. #Orioles trail 3-0 after 5 1/2 innings.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 12:57:03 AM
Tonight's announced attendance is 8,198, the second smallest announced crowd of the season at Camden Yards. Far fewer people actually here. #Orioles #BlueJays

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 1:07:49 AM
Chris Davis just knocked Ryan Borucki's glove off with a 96 mph ground ball up the middle, but the Jays' pitcher tracked it down and threw him out from near second base. That kind of day/season/life.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/18/2018 1:21:55 AM
Aledmys Díaz gave Toronto a tack-on run with a homer in the ninth. The Orioles trail 5-0.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/18/2018 1:43:01 AM
The Orioles lose, 5-0, tie team record of 107 losses. How'd they do it? None of their pitchers (Phillips/Gilmartin/Carroll), nor the three players who had a hit (Villar/Núñez/Andreoli) were in the organization to open the season, or on roster before the All-Star break.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 9/18/2018 1:50:53 AM
#Orioles lose their 107th game, tying the franchise record for most in a season set by the 1988 O's, after 5-0 loss to #BlueJays . O's had just three hits. Evan Phillips started, allowed three runs in 2nd. Gilmartin was good in relief, nothing much else was.

Davis on 107th loss: "I don’t know, I honestly didn’t have any words for it. It was embarrassing. It was frustrating. It’s one of those things you never want to be associated with, but at the same time, you’ve got to learn how to turn the page and start somewhere." #orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/18/2018 2:26:48 AM
The #Orioles matched their franchise record for most losses in a season tonight with No. 107 tonight. "It was embarrassing. It was frustrating. It’s one of those things you never want to be associated with."

Interesting quote from Schmuck's column on the #Orioles reaching the 107-loss mark. “It’s embarrassing. It’s shameful. ... It’s ridiculous. We’ve lost so many games and it seems like losing is the new winning. It’s unacceptable.”
