    The Orioles have lost eight of 11 games to fall four games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the American League East.

    “The mojo that we’ve had has just drifted away from us the last few months,” Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Tuesday. “There are reasons for it that are obvious, but a lot of it is we’ve got people here that are experiencing a downturn — whether it’s themselves or the team.”
