On the morning of June 18th, the Orioles had lost eight games in a row and fired Sam Perlozzo. Dave Trembley takes over on an interim basis and leads Baltimore to a 29-25 record (they were 29-40 under Sam). Baltimore takes away the interim label, and the team goes on a seven game losing streak, starting with an historic double header defeat. It's almost as if someone flipped a switch; good under the interim, bad under permanent. More likely, the level of play under Perlozzo represented the real ability of the team, and now they're coming back to that level.
