Baltimore Orioles Streak Ends: Cardinals’ Sweep Makes History

Baltimore Orioles ended their own remarkable streak. This comes just months after the Baltimore Ravens’ lengthy preseason win streak broke. The Orioles lost to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday by a 5-4 final score. The Cardinals completed a three-game series sweep with this victory, showcasing their ability to dominate the series. This sweep was particularly surprising given the Cardinals’ struggles this season, making their triumph over the Orioles even more impressive.

This sweep marks the first time in over two years that the Baltimore Orioles have been swept during the regular season. They last experienced a series sweep in May 2022, spanning 106 different series. Astonishingly, the struggling Cardinals, who are 23-26, achieved their first sweep of the season against the formidable 29-18 Orioles. Baseball’s unpredictability strikes again.

While the Texas Rangers swept the Orioles 3-0 in the ALDS last season, many fans considered the regular season streak more significant. The regular season streak highlighted the Orioles’ consistent performance across numerous series. It underscored their resilience and competitiveness. This achievement showcased their ability to maintain a high level of play over an extended period. Despite this, the streak’s end did not result from a technicality, unlike another streak in Major League Baseball this year. This made the conclusion of the Orioles’ impressive run all the more noteworthy.
