Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore’s offense and starting pitching have drawn most of the criticism, but the relievers been especially leaky as of late.

In his best outing of the season, Bradish showed he’s all the way back.

The Orioles finished tied for a season-low three hits, two of which occurred in the first inning before Adley Rutschman’s infield single in the ninth.

The right-handed pitcher has been out since April with elbow inflammation.

In the last month, the third base position for the Orioles has been among the most productive in the league, providing an .816 OPS and 124 wRC+ that ranks fifth in baseball.

Padres right-hander Ron Marinaccio hit Henderson with the first pitch of an at-bat, which occurred with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and San Diego leading by six.

Many of Baltimore’s wounds have been self-inflicted.

Over the last few months, Ryan Helsley's daughter Tatum underwent cochlear implant surgery on both ears. Helsley, in the middle of his first season with the Orioles, departed the club for three days to be with his family during the operations.

Jeremiah Jackson hit a solo homer for the Orioles. Trevor Rogers took the loss despite allowing only two runs in six innings.

Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor hit two-run homers in the first inning, and three more San Diego batters went deep as the Padres rolled.

Gunnar Henderson hit a capping homer in a 7-3 blistering of San Diego starter Griffin Canning, giving the Orioles their third straight win.

COLUMN | Craig Albernaz holds Samuel Basallo to a high standard and hasn’t always waited for private moments to do so. It’s not about Albernaz, but he certainly knows that turning Basallo into a consistent, high-level catcher would reflect well on him and his staff, and make the Orioles good for a decade.

Rutschman’s stat line in his first start of the homestand: 2-for-3 with a double, single, walk and three RBIs.

COLUMN | Leody Taveras' .726 OPS for the season is good value for an Orioles team that has needed everything he does on and off the field.

Jackson Holliday’s grand slam punctuates an Orioles victory at Camden Yards.

COLUMN | Just because the Orioles have demonstrated time and time again that they won’t stay down long, that doesn’t change the reality that all of this takes a toll.

Just like no two players are the same, no two ways to break in a glove are the same.

The Orioles tied it up in the ninth but ultimately couldn’t overcome a late Randy Arozarena homer in the 6-5 loss.

Orioles owner David Rubenstein got married to Caryn Zucker in a quiet ceremony last week.

The Orioles were furious when a controversial baserunning call in Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays negated what would have been an inning-ending double play.
