Baltimore Orioles

Through 92 games, the Orioles' record (42-50) is the same as last season.

After posting five scoreless innings in Friday’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, Rogers has thrown 86 1/3 innings in the majors to Basallo. He has a 2.50 ERA in them.

Baltimore is just one game better than it was at this point last season.

The Orioles again failed to win four straight games this season.

Alonso reached base in all five plate appearances Saturday night as the Orioles beat the Reds 8-5.

Rutschman entered Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds with a .252 average and .772 OPS.

Bassitt is “writing the script a little bit” with his recovery.

These splits are hard to ignore.

Right-hander Ryan Helsley was placed on the 15-day injured list for the second time this season.

COLUMN | David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti haven’t been tested on their commitment to winning. A slumping club and an embattled GM give them their first test to see if they’re willing to hold someone accountable.

The Orioles’ efforts at the plate, combined with six innings of one-run ball from Dean Kremer, resulted in a 6-1 victory to avoid being swept by the Chicago White Sox.

There was a brief delay in the top of the ninth as Andrew Kittredge warmed up quickly and entered from the bullpen. On the MASN broadcast, Helsley was seen grabbing his right arm.

Trey Gibson struggled to find the strike zone, doling out six walks. He exited two outs into the third inning, having surrendered eight runs, all earned.

“The fans that are there, they’re paying their hard-earned money to watch us play and win and play good baseball and competitive baseball, and they have every right to boo,” Albernaz said.

COLUMN | Mike Elias’ recent comments made it sound like he wants to buy at the trade deadline. The Orioles have lost three in a row since then.

Baltimore’s offense went dormant after scoring two early runs. The Orioles failed to record a hit after the sixth.

COLUMN | As long as Baltimore is competing for a playoff spot, Adley Rutschman should stay.

For a player who has excelled at every level — from the travel ball showcases through the minor leagues and even here, at the unforgiving highest level — Henderson is at a loss.

Baltimore has lost four of its last five games.

A team spokesperson said the Orioles communicated to the umpires and the Nationals that there could be extra noise from the air show.
