Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles stumbled in their quest for a series sweep, falling to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 after a strong start to the series. Trevor Rogers continued to struggle with the long ball, giving up pivotal runs that squandered their early momentum from a dominating 8-7 win two days prior. Despite the loss, Pete Alonso's recent surge at the plate, now batting .276, highlights the O's offensive firepower amid a tight AL Wild Card race, where eight teams compete for one spot. The chemistry within the clubhouse seems to be a driving force, as players rally behind each other, creating hope for a postseason push. With the season winding down, each game becomes crucial, and the Orioles need to harness their offensive prowess while addressing pitching issues to keep their playoff aspirations alive.

Late comeback falls short as Orioles lose to Cardinals, 7-5

Put the brooms back in the closet, Orioles fans. The O’s missed their chance to secure their fifth series sweep of the season, dropping the finale to the Cardinals in St. Louis, 7-5.

Orioles vs. Cardinals discussion

The last time the Orioles visited St. Louis, in May 0f 2024, the Cardinals won all three games to end the Birds’ 106-series regular season sweepless streak. So I’d say the Orioles owe the Cards a sweep of their own. After a blowout win in the opener and a blowout-turned-nailbiter victory in game two, the […]
