ST. LOUIS—After scoring 21 runs in the first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Orioles were poised for a three-game sweep.

The last time the Orioles visited St. Louis, in May 0f 2024, the Cardinals won all three games to end the Birds’ 106-series regular season sweepless streak. So I’d say the Orioles owe the Cards a sweep of their own. After a blowout win in the opener and a blowout-turned-nailbiter victory in game two, the […]
ST. LOUIS—Pete Alonso will play in his 550th consecutive game on Thursday. For the second time in the three game series against the Cardinals, Alonso will be the designated hitter, something he’s done often since tweaking his right calf muscle earlier this month at Tampa Bay. “We have the DH spot available,” Orioles manager Craig […]

Recently, my dad invited me to a meet-and-greet with former White House reporter, St. Louis native, and author Terry Lemons, who was there to premiere his new book, The Year St. Louis Became a Baseball Town: The Cardinals, Babe Ruth, and the 1926 World Series. I couldn’t go, but I remembered the book when I […]
It is no surprise that Pete Alonso’s raw power has been too valuable for the Baltimore Orioles, yet his calf has forced them to tread carefully. An example of that came this Tuesday when Craig Albernaz pulled him as soon as the victory was secured. Alonso went 4-for-4 against the St. Louis Cardinals that day. […] The post “Don’t Put Words in My Mouth”: Orioles Manager Shuts Down Reporter When Asked About Pete Alonso appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The St. Louis Cardinals have a major development success story in Kyle Leahy, who has been pitching like one of the best starters in baseball, and that should give Cardinals fans confidence of how they can develop their pitching prospects.
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just can’t make things easy, can they? What should have been a second straight breezy blowout win over the Cardinals turned into a cardiac-inducing affair, a game that saw the O’s fritter away a 7-0 lead and nearly suffer what would’ve been perhaps their most agonizing loss of the […]
ST. LOUIS—When Blaze Alexander went on the injured list with a fractured left hand, the Orioles recalled third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Norfolk, where he’d been compiling impressive statistics since his acquisition from Cincinnati in April. In the last six weeks, Encarnacion-Strand has become indispensable for the Orioles. On Wednesday night, after the Orioles […]
Well, this game was like a rollercoaster. And when it ended, I felt much like I do after a real rollercoaster: happy but mildly nauseous. The Orioles jumped out to a huge early lead in this game, big enough to make us relax a bit. The vibes were good, and the offense was cooking. But […]
How can two baseball games start out so similar, but end so differently?

Orioles vs Cardinals7:45 EDTMASN/MASN+ The Orioles laid the smack down on the Cardinals last night with a 13-1 victory to kick off their nine-game road trip.
