Orioles news: Checking in on the AFL

The postseason continued last night with the American League teams back in action. In the AL Central ALDS, the Chicago White Sox staged a come-from-behind victory with three runs in the sixth inning to go ahead and stay there. Guardians' starter Gavin Williams struck out 11 but lasted just five innings. The Guardians head into Chicago facing elimination, which is a shame. I don't have a strong rooting interest for either team, but it would have been nice for the home team fans to see a win. I guess there's always game five!

The AL East ALDS is not going well for the Yankees. After the Yankees were almost no-hit in game one and lost 1-0, they fell apart defensively in game two. Having watched a lot of Orioles baseball, I am familiar with bad defense, and I am confident in saying that the Yankees looked terrible. The Ray pulled off the win and have a 2-0 series lead. Tomorrow the Yankees could be swept in front of their home crowd.

While the AL is off to travel, the NL is back tonight. They've switched cities, so the Dodgers/Braves are in Atlanta with the Brewers/Padres in San Diego. The Padres are down 0-2, so they need a win to stay alive. The Dodgers and Braves have split the first two games.
