last night's win

It's a wash right now. Last night's win by 2 is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. On the other hand, winning just 3 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down.

Orioles News

In a much-needed boost for the Baltimore Orioles, Pete Alonso officially belted his 30th home run of the season, confirming his big swing was legitimate this time after a prior foul call debacle. This victory comes on the heels of a brutal 1-6 loss to the Yankees, as the O's snapped a four-game skid by defeating the Rays 5-3, thanks in large part to Trevor Rogers' stellar pitching. Meanwhile, Jackson Holliday's dog, Coconut, has taken over the hearts of Baltimore fans, adding a lighthearted touch to the team's recent struggles. Amidst this backdrop, former first-round pick Heston Kjerstad is making a case for a call-up as rosters expand, signaling potential changes ahead. However, the O's must maintain momentum against tough division rivals as they chase the postseason.
