COLUMN | Since the Orioles started taking off in 2023, there has been no player more central to their success than their All-Star shortstop. But, with his pronounced struggles to start the season, Gunnar Henderson is showing the perils of riding the emotions of every single play, and how bad ones can stack up.

An independent minor league baseball team says it is forfeiting a game because some of its players refused to wear a special Pride Night jersey.

Seattle scored all of its runs against Shane Baz in the first inning.

Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement that his administration has made “historic investments” to ensure the future of Maryland’s racing industry and the $85 million decision will secure a “vital asset for our state.”

Baltimore was snubbed for the World Cup, but that’s not stopping local bars from embracing the most popular tournament on the planet.

Thanks to an unconventional coaching summit, the Commanders and Dan Quinn feel on schedule as minicamp ends.

In 2024, Henderson was well on his way to becoming a star. Last year was a modest step back, and this year his .706 OPS entering Wednesday is the lowest of his career.

“He loves what he does, so he’s really bought in and trying to have as much information as he possibly can to help us out,” reliever Clayton Beeter said.

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

Washington’s offense, the backbone of this team, was dominated by Royals starter Luinder Avila, who recorded two outs and allowed eight runs in his previous start against the Houston Astros.

Nasim Nuñez reached base in all four of his plate appearances, hitting two triples, earning two walks, driving in a run and scoring three more in the team’s victory.

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.

After the offense ground to a halt last year and the Commanders blew up the receiver room, Dyami Brown could be coach Dan Quinn’s best hope at finding a receiving threat not named Terry McLaurin.

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.

The Washington Wizards will host an NBA draft party next Tuesday night for fans, the team announced, part of a week of community events celebrating the franchise’s past and present.
