Overview

  • Rogers worked seven innings of one-run ball with four hits and seven strikeouts in Baltimore’s 6-3 win at Fenway Park.
  • His ERA dropped to 1.41, and he leads MLB in ERA and WHIP (0.80) among pitchers with at least 70 innings.
  • The 1.41 ERA is the lowest by an Orioles starter through his first 12 starts of a season, surpassing Hoyt Wilhelm’s 1.50 set in 1954.
  • He has authored eight consecutive starts of at least six innings with two or fewer runs allowed, the longest such Orioles streak since Jim Palmer in 1978.
  • He began 2025 on the injured list and was briefly optioned after his May 24 debut before returning following a 25-day gap, a surge his interim manager described as ace-level while noting the short sample.
