Povich dazzles, Alonso breaks out in Orioles 6-2 win over Giants
A stellar start by Cade Povich, supported by key contributions at the plate from the previously slumping Pete Alonso and Samuel Basallo, led the Orioles to a 6-2 win at Camden Yards on Sunday afternoon. They have now won five of six and are tied for first place in the AL East. This was the […]
Sunday afternoon game thread: vs Giants, 1:35
It’s going to be a beautiful day in downtown Baltimore. Clear skies. A modest breeze. Highs near 70. That’s baseball weather, folks, and I can think of no better setting for the Orioles to take a series from the visiting Giants. It will be up to Cade Povich to make it happen. To the surprise […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/12: Levi Wells retires 13 straight in Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 2 It was a very good night for Levi Wells, who retired the first 13 batters he faced. The 14th batter reached on an error by the rehabbing second baseman, Jackson Holliday. The 15th batter doubled, putting runners on second and third with one out in the […]
Orioles news: Rutschman, Mountcastle injuries add to pile
Hello, friends. Can we possibly make it a day without there being any bad Orioles injury news? Yesterday was not the day, with the O’s losing Adley Rutschman to the injured list due to left ankle inflammation before the game even began and then having Ryan Mountcastle exit the game early after having an awkward […]
Orioles overcome injuries in 6-2 win over Giants
Tonight was a weird one. The MASN broadcast booth got its second consecutive day off with Baltimore playing on national television. The Orioles defense added insult to some unfortunate injuries, and Chris Bassitt looked better despite experiencing some more bad luck. A runner was called out for interference, Ryan Helsley pitched in a non-save situation, […]
Saturday night Orioles game thread: vs. Giants, 7:15
The Orioles will attempt to get back to .500 tonight against Logan Webb and the Giants. San Francisco took the first of three games last night in a 6-3 result at Camden Yards. Chris Bassitt will look to bounce back after a rough start to his Orioles tenure. Baltimore inked Bassitt to a one-year, $18.5 […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/11: Bradfield’s HR, 4 RBI lead Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 2 Enrique Bradfield Jr. singlehandedly delivered the Tides a comeback win, driving in all four Norfolk runs — two in the seventh and two in the eighth — to fry the Jumbo Shrimp. For much of the game, the Norfolk lineup was absolutely dominated by Jacksonville starter […]
Orioles news: Alonso frustrated by early-season slump
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles debut of their new City Connect jerseys on Friday night did not go great, ending in a 6-3 loss to the visiting San Francisco Giants. That scoreline is kind to the Orioles. They were down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth and were only saved by a Gunnar […]
Orioles fail at pitching and hitting, lose to Giants 6-3
The Orioles and Phillies came into this game with good vibes. The Orioles had three consecutive wins against the White Sox, while the San Francisco Giants had scored 11 runs in two games vs the Phillies. Shane Baz and the Orioles were not up to the task, and by the end of the night, the […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs Giants, 7:15 pm
After a six-game road trip that saw the Orioles both sweep and get swept, they are back home to kick off a six-game homestand against two NL West teams. First up, it’s the fellow orange and black San Francisco Giants, who are off to 5-8 start and in last place in their division. There won’t […]

Orioles-Giants series preview: A black-and-orange showdown
It’ll be a black and orange fest at Camden Yards this weekend as the San Francisco Giants roll into town for an interleague matchup. The two similarly colored teams from opposite coasts and opposite leagues are infrequent opponents. The Orioles have faced the Giants just 27 times in their history, going 14-13. This is the […]
Is the Polar Bear coming out of his offensive deep freeze?
[Warning: Mixed metaphors incoming. Polar bears don’t like the heat. But human ballplayers do go hot and cold, respectively and metaphorically.] When the Orioles signed Pete Alonso last winter, they knew they what they were getting: the big, slow, mashing first baseman whose value resides entirely in the batter’s box. Not a fielder. Not a […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/10: Holliday struggles, Estrada walks it off
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 F/10 Norfolk jumped ahead early with a pair of runs in the second inning, but the Tides let this one slip away late. Josh Walker allowed the tying run to score in the top of the ninth. Jackson Kowar prevented the Shrimp from claiming the lead […]
Orioles news: When will the bats heat up?
Good morning, Camden Chatters. After a breather yesterday, the Orioles now face a stretch of 13 straight games before their next scheduled off day, starting a six-game homestand tonight before going on the road for seven. By the time the O’s next get a break, we’ll know a lot more about this team and what […]
The Orioles have unveiled the next round of City Connect jerseys
The apparel company with the big swoosh logo has deemed that it’s time for a number of MLB teams to change up their City Connect jerseys so they can sell people a new round of jerseys. The Orioles are in this year’s wave for updated uniforms, so the black ones with the boring block lettering […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/9: Kremer tosses 4.2 shutout innings
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 7, Norfolk Tides 1 – F/11 It was a brutal day for the Norfolk offense. They did walk six times, but they also only had three hits, struck out 17 times, and went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The only run they did manage to scratch across came in […]
Orioles news: Orioles sweep, Eflin has Tommy John
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Turns out there are no problems with the Orioles that a series against the Chicago White Sox couldn’t fix. The O’s took full advantage of their matchup against the perennial worst team in the American League, completing a three-game sweep with yesterday afternoon’s 5-3 win. In typical Orioles fashion, the club […]
Orioles news: Zach Eflin had Tommy John surgery
The news on Zach Eflin’s injury came back on Wednesday evening and it was as bad as you could have guessed from the get-go. The Orioles announced that Eflin had Tommy John surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow on Wednesday. The only surprising thing about the announcement is that […]
Orioles tack on late runs against the White Sox to sweep the series, 5-3
Every baseball game has a story. That’s what makes the game so great. Here were some of the narratives working their way through my head as we entered today’s Orioles-White Sox contest: Will the Orioles get back to .500 and keep pace in the AL East? Will the offense find itself against a bad Chicago […]
Wednesday afternoon game thread: vs. White Sox, 2:10 ET
It is Kyle Bradish day for the Orioles, and hopefully that is a good thing. Prior to the start of this season, you’d have bet for sure that it was, as the one-time Top 5 Cy Young Award finisher has been a dark wizard on the mound, even after missing time for Tommy John surgery. […]
Optics match early reality for Orioles
I traded my Easter ham for a hot dog last weekend to watch the Orioles take on the Pirates at PNC Park. On paper, it felt like dealing Erik Bedard for Adam Jones and a quartet of pitchers. It’s not like I was skipping Thanksgiving dinner, and it’s always a thrill to catch a game […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/8: Willems homers in Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Norfolk Tides 2 The Tides jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but their bats quickly fell silent as the Jumbo Shrimp earned a come-from-behind victory. With two outs in the bottom of the 1st, Johnathan Rodríguez worked an eight-pitch walk to give Norfolk their first base-runner of the afternoon. […]
Orioles news: Back-to-back wins have O’s on brink of road sweep
Good morning Birdland, It’s amazing what a couple of wins can do for your team outlook. Coming into this White Sox series, it already felt like the Orioles’ season was on life support. Now, they have won two in a row, could wrap up a sweep today, get back to .500, and then head home […]
Gunnar’s two-run bomb caps late comeback over the White Sox, 4-2
Two in a row. Write it down somewhere. Frame it, even! The 2026 Orioles, playing a 3:10 afternoon matinee in the cold because apparently, temperate weather is too much to ask of Chicago even in late April, have won consecutive games for the first time this season. They did so courtesy of a 4-2 Tuesday […]
