Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles cling to hope in the playoff race, pulling off another nail-biter against the Tampa Bay Rays with a 4-3 extra-inning victory, thanks in large part to the cool demeanor of Cam Sanders, who continues to shine under pressure. Meanwhile, the team breathed a sigh of relief as Pete Alonso's calf cramp turned out to be just a minor scare, ensuring the star first baseman will be ready for the next showdown. With their recent record sitting at 3-4 over the past week and a concerning run differential of -2, the O's need to find their groove quickly, especially with nine players on the injured list. As they prepare for another matchup with the Rays, maintaining this slim momentum is crucial if they want to keep their postseason aspirations alive.
