Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles snatched a shaky 4-3 victory in extra innings against the Athletics, thanks to the unlikely heroics of Coby Mayo and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who both stepped up in the clutch. After a week filled with highs and lows, where they've managed a 4-3 record yet continue to falter in close games, the O's are feeling the heat in their pursuit of a postseason berth. Blaze Alexander's return from injury injects fresh energy into the lineup, a much-needed boost as they grapple with inconsistency. Their record now stands at 65-69, and if they want to keep their playoff dreams alive, they’ll need to clean up the sloppy play that marred last night's game. With just a handful of games left, every moment counts, and the O's must find a way to turn this season around.

Mayo, CES lead Orioles to 10-inning win over Athletics, 4-3

For those who stayed up well into Saturday morning to watch the opener of this Orioles-Athletics series, well, I wouldn’t exactly say you witnessed an instant classic. There was a whole lot of silly baseball going on. Baserunning blunders. Defensive butchery. Inexplicable managerial decisions. The Orioles couldn’t score more than two runs in regulation against […]

Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party

It is Friday night. Or at least it was when this game started. The Orioles have beaten the Athletics by a 4-3 score over a ten-inning contest.
