The Orioles were swept out of Kansas City after their ugly 9-8 loss to the Royals at Kauffman Stadium and have lost four straight games overall.

The Orioles (11-6) have just three quality starts over their first 17 games.

Zach Britton's chances of going north with the Orioles seemingly took a hit Wednesday as he failed to get out of the second inning in a Grapefruit League start against the Toronto Blue Jays.
