Orioles News

The Orioles stumbled in their first road game of the season, suffering a 5-4 loss to the Pirates, which highlighted the same issues plaguing them at home: shaky pitching from Kyle Bradish and a lineup that couldn't capitalize on scoring opportunities. With a 3-3 record, Baltimore is still finding its footing, but concerns are mounting over Zach Eflin’s elbow injury as he seeks a second opinion, leaving fans anxious about their rotation's depth. Meanwhile, Blaze Alexander channeled his inner Brooks Robinson with a standout defensive play, offering a glimmer of hope. On the offensive side, Gunnar Henderson’s slow start continues to raise eyebrows, further emphasizing the need for contributions from their key players as they aim to shake off this lukewarm start and build momentum against the Pirates.

Bradish scuffles again, O’s waste chances in 5-4 loss to Pirates

The Orioles’ first road game of the year looked a lot like the six games they played at home to begin the season. Their starter scuffled on the mound, particularly in one inning, and their lineup failed to make the most of their opportunities. On Friday evening in Pittsburgh, that added up to a 5-4 […]
