Overview

  • The Orioles defeated the Red Sox 8-5 in their home opener, powered by Cedric Mullins' four RBIs and Tyler O'Neill's four-hit performance.
  • Baltimore split its season-opening series with the Blue Jays, showing offensive potential but inconsistent production across the four games.
  • Tomoyuki Sugano exited his MLB debut against Toronto due to cramping but is expected to make his next start, while outfielder Colton Cowser will miss several months with a fractured thumb.
  • Jordan Westburg starred in the series against Toronto with three home runs, including a two-homer game in a 9-5 Orioles victory.
  • Félix Bautista returned to the Orioles' bullpen after missing the 2024 season, securing a save despite allowing two runs in the home opener.
