The Orioles have gone 4-2 in each of the past three weeks. If the Orioles keep playing at a .667 pace — a Herculean task, to be sure — they would end the season with a 91-71 record, good enough to make the playoffs and the same record they had last year.

The pitching led the way on Sunday. O's pitcher Scott Blewett kept the Angels limited to only two runs on two hits, one being a homer.

The Orioles’ game against the Angels on Friday night at Camden Yards was delayed a second time in the fifth inning because of rain.
