Overview

  • The Orioles have lost six of their last seven games, with a 5-2 loss on Saturday followed by a 7-3 win on Sunday to avoid a series sweep against the Angels.
  • Baltimore's pitching rotation remains a significant issue, with Kyle Gibson struggling in his third straight start and Zach Eflin only recently returning from injury.
  • The team is now 0-21 this season when trailing after six innings, highlighting their inability to mount comebacks in games.
  • Rookie Matthew Lugo recorded his first MLB hit and RBI with a triple for the Angels in Saturday's game, while Jo Adell hit his third home run in five games.
  • Despite individual bright spots, including Maverick Handley's first career RBIs on Sunday, the Orioles continue to face challenges meeting preseason expectations.
