Peter Schmuck's Orioles grades for May 2

The Orioles batted .263/.320/.403 and averaged four runs per game over the course of a full seven-game week, but that doesn’t tell the whole story even though it was a so-so combined performance and a so-so week. The distribution of those runs explains why they weren’t enough to make it a winning week in spite of solid pitching. The O’s scored a total of four runs in three games against the Rays – losing two – and then piled up 23 runs over the first three games of the White Sox series, winning two of them before being stifled by Chris Sale in the finale on Sunday. Manny Machado continues to roll, leading the team in hits and RBI, but three part-time players topped the charts. Pedro Alvarez, Nolan Reimold and Hyun Soo Kim combined to bat .500 (16 for 32) with two homers and six RBI. (Mitchell Layton / Getty Images)
