Orioles’ record streak of avoiding sweeps in danger of ending vs. Nationals

WASHINGTON — Entering the season, the Orioles’ pair of two-game series against the Washington Nationals posed the greatest risk to Baltimore’s historic streak of not being swept in the regular season.

After losing Tuesday night, they’re one loss away from it ending. If the Orioles lose Wednesday to the Nationals, it will be the first time since May 2022 — a span of 102 series that is the longest in American League history — that Baltimore has been swept, although the club was swept out of the postseason in October.
