Overview

  • The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Monday, driven by timely offensive plays from Ryan O'Hearn, Gunnar Henderson, and Ryan Mountcastle.
  • Zach Eflin pitched six efficient innings, allowing one run on four hits, but exited due to shoulder fatigue and underwent an MRI on Tuesday.
  • Manager Brandon Hyde expressed optimism about Eflin's condition, noting his reduced soreness on Tuesday morning, though results are still pending.
  • The Orioles' pitching depth faces challenges with the loss of reliever Albert Suárez to a Grade 2 shoulder strain, sidelining him for multiple months.
