Orioles News

After a shaky start, the Baltimore Orioles bounced back with a thrilling 8-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins, showcasing the power of newcomer Pete Alonso, who delivered his first RBI in an O's uniform. This win not only secured the series against a familiar foe but also highlighted the effectiveness of the new ABS challenge system, which played a crucial role in the late-game drama. The front office is clearly invested in the future, as evidenced by Shane Baz's surprising five-year extension before even stepping on the mound. However, the recent trade for Jayvien Sandridge underscores ongoing concerns about the bullpen. With a 1-1 record and a mixed bag of performances, the Orioles are still searching for consistency as they look to build momentum in this young season.

O’Neill, Beavers, Alonso lead late rallies to capture the series, 8-6
New beginnings. So much hope, so much promise. The 2026 season is brand-new, and so is Shane Baz’s career as an Oriole. This week the team announced a five-year, $69-million extension for the right-hander—all before he’d thrown a single regular-season pitch. The front office called it a “no brainer.” It almost feels like too much […]
