It was a good weekend for the Baltimore Orioles. They started the weekend a half-game behind the Detroit Tigers for the second wild card, one up on the Houston Astros and 1.5 up on the Seattle Mariners. They ended the weekend 1.5 up on the Tigers, 2.5 up on the Mariners and three up on the Astros. After a day off Monday, they finish with a six-game road trip against the Toronto Blue Jays and fading New York Yankees. They'll have Kevin Gausman lined up Tuesday and are hoping his start after that comes in the wild-card game.
