At the end of this dismal four-game series in New York, one of these teams looked like a World Series contender. It wasn’t the Orioles. Not by any measure.

It will be up to Golden Tempo, DeVaux added, how fit he looks upon returning to the training track at Keeneland, where her stable is based.

After another scoreless appearance Sunday, Cano’s ERA is 1.59 and his WHIP 0.529.

Baltimore has been outscored 25-9 in the first three games of its series with the Yankees.

The 23-year-old Gibson did not seem to allow the eye-widening dimensions of Yankee Stadium or his high-level opponents to rattle him. It was almost the opposite — an at-ease kid taking this all in stride.

The Nationals salvaged one game from their series against Milwaukee at Nationals Park.

The usual post-Derby dilemma for trainers and owners is whether their horses are up for the two-week turnaround at Preakness. This year, the race is at Laurel Park on May 16 while the traditional Pimlico Race Course is rebuilt.

Trey Gibson will become the first Orioles starting pitcher to make his major league debut at Yankee Stadium.

Ridden by Jose Ortiz, Golden Tempo — who was at the back of the back early — charged down the stretch to make history for DeVaux in the 1 1/8-mile race, winning at odds of 23-1.

“He’s had some experiences that are learning experiences that he could learn from and be better from,” Ravens coach Jesse Minter said of the polarizing Diego Pavia, who starred at Vanderbilt last year.

It continued a three-game losing streak in which Orioles starters have conceded five runs or more in four innings each, and now Baltimore is three games below .500 (15-18).

Gibson is Baltimore’s top-ranked prospect, according to Baseball America. He carries a 4.01 ERA for Triple-A Norfolk.

Jacob Misiorowski dominated the Nationals with his overpowering arsenal and pure stuff that made him a 2025 All-Star after just five career starts.

In 12 games, Helsley has a 2.53 ERA with seven saves.

This four-game series in New York always seemed to be a pivotal one, even when the schedule released.

Churchill Downs announced last month its intent to buy the Preakness Stakes’ intellectual property for $85 million — and now Maryland government is on the clock to consider whether to match the deal.

COLUMN | The Orioles have mostly been floating under the radar, and even if I suspect the underlying play will continue on that path for a while, there’s value to making early statements when the chance arises.

These players do not come with the same hype and the high rankings, but don’t count them out. The Ravens pride themselves on finding rookie free agents, and three undrafted players made the team last year.

By splitting Thursday’s two games against the Houston Astros, the Orioles were unable to move above .500.
