Orioles barely avoid being no-hit in 4-2 loss to Guardians

Guardians’ rookie Parker Messick took a no-hitter into the 9th inning, but couldn’t complete the first Cleveland no-hitter in 25 years, settling for a 4-2 victory over the Orioles, Thursday. Messick game into the bottom of the 9th with only two walks allowed and nine strikeouts on 106 pitches. He tried to sneak a cutter […]

Thursday night Orioles game thread: at Guardians, 6:10pm ET

Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (0-1, 4.50 ERA, 13 K) vs. LHP Parker Messick (2-0, 0.51 ERA, 16 K) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Through the first six series of the season, the Orioles are sitting with a .500 record and have played exactly like a .500 baseball team. Tonight in Cleveland, manager Craig Albernaz will […]

Orioles-Guardians series preview​: A trip to the Jake

The Cleveland Guardians could be called one of the more interesting teams in the American League. They won the AL Central last year (barely) and came into 2026 with a rotation that looks deeper on paper than it did then, even without any major additions. Their record so far (10-8) reflects a team that’s been […]

Orioles minor league recap 4/16: Gibson gives solid effort in Norfolk win

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Durham Bulls (Rays) 2 It was a solid day for the Norfolk offense. They collected 12 hits, including five for extra bases, to go along with three walks. Enrique Bradfield Jr., José Barrero, Bryan Ramos, and Ryan Noda had two hits apiece. Noda homered for the second time on the season, […]

Orioles news: Wells struggles, outfield defense challenges

Hello, friends. The Orioles are back down to .500. Monday’s exciting comeback win availed them of absolutely zero momentum, even though Trevor Rogers was the next day’s starting pitcher and Kyle Bradish was the guy the day after that. They lost an annoying one to the Diamondbacks yesterday to close out the homestand. Check out […]

Wells’s extra-inning collapse sends Orioles to 8-5 loss to D-backs

You do not have to be a savvy baseball mind to look at a major league outfield consisting of Weston Wilson, Blaze Alexander, and Johnathan Rodríguez and wonder if there has been some mistake. The Orioles didn’t actually seriously think that was going to work out well when Wednesday’s starting lineup was submitted, did they? […]

Orioles live game chat: April 15 vs. Diamondbacks, 12:35

The Orioles play their 18th game of the year on Wednesday afternoon. They have gone the previous 17 games without facing a left-handed starting pitcher, the longest stretch of any of the other MLB teams. That streak ends today as Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez takes the mound against them. If the O’s can pull off the […]

Examining Cade Povich and Brandon Young’s path back to the majors

The Orioles entered spring training with a majority of their roster already set. The most surprising move came when Baltimore optioned Dean Kremer to Norfolk at the beginning of the season. The O’s signed Chris Bassitt to a one-year deal, and the front office decided to roll with Bassitt and Zach Eflin as the fourth […]

Orioles news: Holliday pulled off of rehab assignment with wrist soreness

Good morning Birdland, For a while anyway, last night’s game felt like one the Orioles were destined to win. Vibes were off the charts. Their manager, Craig Albernaz, was sitting in the dugout despite breaking a whole bunch of bones in his face the previous night. Staff ace, Trevor Rogers, was on the mound and […]

Tuesday night game thread: vs Diamondbacks, 6:35

After last night’s exhilarating comeback win, it feels inevitable that tonight will be a letdown. But if momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher, maybe not. Because tonight’s starting pitcher is ace Trevor Rogers, who has pitched to a 1.89 ERA in three starts this season. In his most recent start, Rogers allowed two runs […]

Taylor Ward and Leody Taveras are this year’s O’Hearn and Laureano

In many ways, the main goal of the Orioles’ 2026 season was not to repeat the 2025 season. Through the first 16 games of the season, the O’s have certainly been more competitive than they were to begin last season. However, one unfortunate aspect of 2025 that has followed the Orioles into 2026 is the […]

Orioles prospects: Willems HRs twice, Dzierwa dazzles again

Welcome to the second installment of Camden Chat’s minor league weekly recap. All four of the Orioles’ full-season affiliates are up and running with their usual six-game weeks, and there have been quite a few early standout performances. Let’s jump right into it. Triple-A Norfolk Tides Tides hitters struggled to get, you know…hits. They had […]

Orioles news: A wild comeback win

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! And what a good morning it is, waking up after the most exciting Orioles game of the young season. Down 7-1 going into the bottom of the sixth, your favorite baseball team scored eight runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to come from behind and secure a 9-7 victory. […]

Orioles pull off amazing six-run comeback, stun D’Backs, 9-7

OK, folks. That was fun. The Orioles pulled off their most incredible victory of the young season, rallying back from a six-run deficit in the sixth to score eight unanswered runs and shock the Diamondbacks, 9-7. Jeremiah Jackson’s grand slam — the first of his two homers — whittled away the deficit in the sixth […]

Monday night Orioles game thread: vs. Diamondbacks, 6:35

Ladies and gentlemen: Dean. Is. Back. After a two-week banishment to Triple-A Norfolk to start the year, Dean Kremer is back in Baltimore and ready to make his Orioles season debut tonight. It ends one of the more bizarre sagas of the Orioles’ early 2026 season, in which Kremer — who hadn’t pitched in the […]

Orioles news: Mountcastle, Hiraldo to 60-day injured list

Along with near-daily injuries suffered by the Orioles comes daily roster moves. The team made another flurry of moves to keep a healthy set of players up on the MLB roster ahead of Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks, with two players landing on the 60-day injured list, one getting selected from Norfolk to MLB, and […]

Podcast: Your first place Orioles…?

In last week’s episode of the podcast, there wasn’t much to be happy about with the Orioles since they were coming off a 1-5 week. They may not have entirely chased the concerns away from everyone’s minds by flipping that around and going 5-1 since that time, but it’s an awfully nice start, and thanks […]

The Orioles may have built the league’s deepest bullpen

The Orioles entered the year with plenty of public pessimism around their bullpen. Their newly-signed closer was coming off of the worst stretch in his career, they were already dealing with injuries to key members of the group, and much of the unit was unproven at the major league level. While the 2026 season is […]

Orioles minor league recap 4/13: Norfolk blanked despite a strong Brandon Young outing

Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 2, Norfolk Tides 0 Look, Brandon Young was excellent in a losing effort, posting a quality start with six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and a walk while striking out five on 75 pitches. Unfortunately, Jacksonville’s Braxton Garrett was slightly better: he no-hit the Tides for six innings, needing […]

Orioles news: The Orioles are in first place

Good morning, Camden Chatters. Your eyes do not deceive you. Take a gander at the AL East standings and you’ll find the Orioles atop the division (well, along with the Yankees and Rays in a three-way tie). The O’s, who a week ago at this time were practically left for dead, are back above .500 […]

Orioles news: Injury updates for Rutschman, Mountcastle, O’Neill

One way that the 2026 Orioles season continues to emulate the 2025 one is the way that injury news is a daily feature. Following Sunday’s 6-2 win over the Giants, O’s manager Craig Albernaz provided updates on three players who have recently had issues pop up: Ryan Mountcastle, Tyler O’Neill, and Adley Rutschman. O’Neill was […]

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 […]
