Orioles at Crossroads Before Deadline | Sports News

The Orioles stand at a pivotal crossroads, with a brutal six-game stretch against Detroit and Philly potentially deciding their fate at the trade deadline.

Despite strong pitching and flashes of brilliance, injuries and inconsistency have kept them from seizing control.
