The Orioles are in Williamsport, Pa. tonight for the Little League Classic and their first appearance in ESPN’s primetime game in four years.
Outfielder Yusniel Diaz has joined the team as its 27th man, an unexpected perk considering this isn’t a doubleheader.
Diaz struck out in his major league debut on Aug. 2 after a temporary promotion at the trade deadline.
The Orioles are 2 ½ games back for the last wild card spot. The Twins are one game ahead of the Orioles, and the White Sox are a half-game behind.
There’s a traffic jam in this race.
