a rough stretch

The numbers paint a bleak picture. The 2-5 record this week is doing most of the damage. Pair that with lost by 3 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately.

Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles continue to struggle, falling 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Rays, marking their fifth loss in the last seven games. With a -17 run differential over that stretch, it's clear the offense is faltering, as they managed only three hits last night and struggled to finish innings defensively. The team made a roster shakeup by selecting Albert Suarez from Triple-A and designating Maverick Handley for assignment, a move aimed at sparking some much-needed energy. Meanwhile, the hot bat of Adley Rutschman is barely warming things up at .266, and with a 21-29 record, fans are left wondering when,or if,this team will find its rhythm. The upcoming rematch with the Rays won't be an easy task, and unless the Orioles step up, they risk slipping further behind in the division.
