#Orioles' Gunnar Henderson on the upcoming Trade Deadline: "Definitely a new experience. It’s a weird one, because obviously, don’t know who, when or if. It’s just kind of a crappy situation. ... Hope nobody leaves, but the reality of it, somebody probably will."
#Orioles win 5-1 in the rubber game against the MLB-worst Rockies at Camden Yards. After falling 6-5 in Friday's opener, the O's (47-58) bounced back by outscoring the Rox 23-1 over the past 2 games. Next up: 4 games over 3 days vs. the MLB-best Blue Jays.
