Orioles News
The Baltimore Orioles are in a serious offensive slump, hitting just 3.0 runs per game over the last week, and their recent 13-3 blowout loss to the Nationals highlighted the frustration. The team came close to a comeback in the seventh inning, but a disastrous bullpen collapse sealed their fate. In an effort to shake things up, the O's signed veteran outfielder Tommy Pham to a minor league deal, hoping he can rekindle some spark in the lineup. Additionally, with Dylan Beavers on the injured list, the roster is in flux as they await Grayson Rodriguez's season debut. The pressure is mounting as the Orioles sit at 20-26, and fans are left wondering when the bats will finally wake up to complement their surprisingly effective pitching staff.
