Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles, sitting at 13-15, are trying to shake off their mixed start with some optimism, thanks to Pete Alonso's upbeat presence in the clubhouse. Despite his own struggles, Alonso believes the team will find its rhythm, particularly as they prepare to face a Houston Astros squad that is surprisingly at the bottom of the standings. While the Orioles' batting has shown flashes of promise, highlighted by Adley Rutschman's .333 average, the offense is still grappling with consistency, especially in the first inning. Colton Cowser's ongoing absence from the lineup adds to the uncertainty, but with their next game against a depleted Astros team, fans are hoping for a spark that could finally signal a turnaround.

Shane Baz and the Orioles handle the Astros, 5-3

Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen… Surely, given the depleted […]
