The right-hander and two relievers retire 26 straight Tampa Bay batters after a leadoff single in the first inning.

The Orioles rookie and his brother Ethan, a pitcher at East Carolina, experienced significant career milestones just moments apart this week.

Baltimore starts another AL East road series with a 6-3 win at Tampa Bay.

"This isn’t just about how you drive more people to the ballpark," Janet Marie-Smith said. "It’s how do you take the emotion of the game that has so many stories around it and such legacy..."

It did not go entirely as planned — he gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings as the Orioles fell 6-5 to the Blue Jays — but Povich pitched better than his final line

The Orioles’ top left-handed pitching prospect is on the taxi squad. Will he make his first big league start in the series finale?

It’s hard to find many real drawbacks if a player gets sporadic major league playing time and struggles early. And that’s from any number of perspectives — developmental, analytical or scouting.

The Orioles’ 2019 draft class has proven to be a turning point for the organization under Mike Elias’s leadership.

Teheran, 33, has an extensive track record as a reliable starter in the majors, but he has struggled to maintain a place since a 2021 shoulder injury.

Cano’s high-level sinker and change-up are on the scouting reports of every team in baseball, and there’s enough video now to allow batters to adjust against him.

Hays is hitting .294 since returning from the injured list on May 13, including three multi-hit games. This game in Toronto was the clearest sign that Hays was on the right track.

Norby, who has more than 900 Triple-A at-bats, was waiting and waiting for this call, pondering if his time would ever come as younger prospects leap-frogged over him.

The recovery timeline is 12 to 18 months. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas.
