The Orioles assuring the Birds will finish below .500 for the first time in 18 seasons

Teddy Higuera 1987

On September 25, 1986 — The Orioles suffer the 82nd of their 89 defeats this season, a 9-3 loss to Milwaukee at County Stadium, assuring the Birds will finish below .500 for the first time in 18 seasons. The last time Baltimore lost more games than it won in a campaign was in 1967 when the sixth-place team compiled a 76-85 record under Hank Bauer.

It was also George Bamberger’s last game as manager of the Brewers, Teddy Higuera, becomes the major leagues’ third 20-game winner this season. Tom Trebelhorn replaces Bamberger, who is retiring voluntarily.
