Not two wins, two series.
The Orioles, who have won just five of 35 series all year, can win two in a row for the first time in over a year if they beat Chicago tonight.
After sweeping the Angels to start this homestand, they have taken two of the first three in this four-game set with AL Central-leading Chicago.
The last time the O’s won back-to-back series was from July 7-12 of 2009 when they took two of three at Seattle and then won two of three at home vs. Toronto.

The Orioles, who have won just five of 35 series all year, can win two in a row for the first time in over a year if they beat Chicago tonight.
After sweeping the Angels to start this homestand, they have taken two of the first three in this four-game set with AL Central-leading Chicago.
The last time the O’s won back-to-back series was from July 7-12 of 2009 when they took two of three at Seattle and then won two of three at home vs. Toronto.
With a 5-1 mark, the O’s are already assured of their best homestand of the year. Earlier, they went 4-2 from April 27-May 2 vs. the Yankees and Red Sox.
Also, with a win tonight, Buck Showalter would match Earl Weaver for best seven-game start by an O’s skipper as Weaver went 6-1 in 1968.
But the O’s have this trend going against them tonight. They are 0-8 this year on Mondays, including an 0-3 mark at home. And, now they trail 1-0 in the third after an Alex Rios RBI double.
