Overview
- The Orioles dropped to 9-13 after a 7-0 loss to the Nationals, continuing their early-season slump.
- Dean Kremer allowed six runs and a franchise-record eight extra-base hits over 5 1/3 innings, raising the rotation's MLB-worst ERA to 6.22.
- Mitchell Parker dominated for Washington, pitching eight scoreless innings, allowing one hit, and lowering his ERA to 1.39.
- Baltimore's offense struggled again, managing just one hit—Cedric Mullins' single in the third—and failing to advance a runner past second base until the ninth inning.
- Defensive miscues, including a near-collision at first base and misplays in the outfield, compounded the Orioles' issues in the loss.
