There was a blow for the Orioles towards the end of the month as they learned the extent of star Left Fielder Tip O'Neill's injury. O'Neill was diagnosed with an intercostal strain which will sideline him for 5 weeks.
The team struggled to find consistent form all month and this showed in the players individual stats. The best performer during the month was pitcher John Conner. Conner started 9 games and picked up 6 wins. He pitched 81.2 innings to give up 81 hits and 26 earned runs for an ERA of 2.87
