Notes: O’s/Reds

The 1970 World Series/”The Brooks Robinson Series” won by Brooks and the Baltimore Orioles vs the first of 4 Cincinnati Reds’ pennant winning teams in 7 seasons ended with a (9-3) Orioles triumph in game 5.

Last night in a clash between the two surprising 2023 teams, the (48-29) Orioles defeated the (41-38) Reds by a (10-3) score.

“Balti” is 4 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays, whose (54-27) “halfway” (162 games season) is baseball’s best. Their “qualification” lead is at least 6 games.

“Cincy” is only (41-38) but that places them only a half game behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the N.L. Central
