The Orioles recorded the longest 19 consecutive losses of the season in the major leagues.

Before the Angels match on the 25th, when the losing streak was stopped, it has become a hot topic that the players were burning incense and praying for victory.

The Orioles lost 19 consecutive losses in the Major League Baseball this month for the first time since 2005, but won the game on the 25th, when Otani started, for the first time in about three weeks.



In Japanese professional baseball, it is common to put salt on the bench as a wish for victory if consecutive losses continue, but according to Orioles, a wish for incense was made before this game.



The wish was made by two players, Mancini and Winds, who struck an herb called "sage" and walked around clubhouses and grounds.



In the game, the Orioles scored 5 points in the 8th inning to chase 1 point and finally stopped the losing streak.



The Orioles suffered 14 consecutive losses in May, and it has been talked about in the United States that the players tried to stop the consecutive losses and burned incense, which led to this victory.



Mancini said with a smile, "I thought I had to do something to change the bad tide, and I burned incense. I think it worked."



In addition, pitcher Ellis, who started in this game, said, "It's a pretty interesting initiative. Maybe I have to burn incense every game."
