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.

Cedric Mullins and Gary Sánchez hit back-to-back home runs to give Baltimore the lead. Mike Trout homered in the first inning to get the Angels on the scoreboard.
