Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore’s offense remains inconsistent.

Little did North know his decision as a teenager to try and fail and try again with a new language would open many doors in his life.

The Orioles are off to a better start than the Red Sox (at least according to the win-loss record), and yet against a team in a tailspin, Baltimore lost the series to drop once again to two games below .500 (13-15).

Rogers’ last three starts have all been defined by one poor inning, and on Saturday, in his shortest outing since 2022, that poor inning struck in the second.

COLUMN | Even though it was just one night, it made it easier to believe the baseball bromides used to describe this team hours before first pitch.

McDonald said something eerily similar to a remark by commentator John Lowenstein in 1992.

After Coby Mayo crushed the sixth Orioles homer, the Camden Yards video board apologized. The stadium had run out of home run pyrotechnics, the message read, because there were too many home runs.

“I think that we’re moving in the right direction and it’s not all going to be instantaneous, but I hope to see our record improve over the next month or so,” Elias said.

A timeline is hard to pin down for Holliday. President of baseball operations Mike Elias said the Orioles “were probably expecting to have him back around now,” but no two recoveries are the same.

The Orioles are 12-13. They have shown such a wide range of performances that it’s almost impossible to know the true identity of the team.

Brandon Young is a capable replacement, and he will start for the Orioles during Friday’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards.

In the context of the balance and simplified swing load he now boasts, Rutschman looks back at last year with the knowledge that “sometimes less is more.”

The series delivered plenty of drama, with the Orioles taking two of three from the Royals — including an extra-innings win Monday and a rubber-match victory Wednesday.

Jeremiah Jackson and Leody Taveras joined an offensive outpouring in the sixth inning, and Anthony Nunez earned his first major league save.

The Orioles pitching staff lacked sharpness all night.

After Baltimore’s 6-5 loss to the Royals, manager Craig Albernaz said Holliday would undergo an MRI as a precaution.

Early this season, Wells is rediscovering what it means to prepare for a game in minutes rather than days. That’s the life of a reliever.

“They say hindsight is 20-20, so you never know, a lot of different things could happen,” Henderson said. “But I just like to view it as we could have put up a lot more runs early. And yeah, that one was definitely on me.”

To make room for Rutschman, the Orioles designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment.

Baltimore entered Monday ranked 19th in MLB in runs scored.
