Luke Jones and Nestor dust off after three Orioles injuries and a pair of wins against Giants

/

Given the weekend’s injuries to Adley Rutschman, Ryan Mountcastle and Tyler O”Neill to add to Zach Eflin’s Tommy John surgery last week, not much is ideal for rookie manager Craig Albernaz and the Baltimore Orioles just three weeks into a chaotic season of attrition. But, after taking two of three from the San Francisco Giants at Camden Yards, Luke Jones and Nestor are more than satisfied with the over .500 run in a mediocre-so-far division.

#ColumnNes: O, no! These Birds laid three Easter eggs in Pittsburgh as the bats blow cold into Chicago

Stink. Stank. Stunk. And suddenly the Baltimore Orioles are 3-6 and headed on a familiar course down, and quickly. Back in December, Craig Albernaz said the Orioles were going to “attack the fundamentals,” the little details, the cleaner brand of baseball that this franchise clearly did not play over the weekend in Pittsburgh.
