Orioles News
The Baltimore Orioles’ struggles deepen as they face a daunting homestand following a dismal 2-5 road trip, capped off by a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. On the heels of Cade Povich's injury, which lands him on the IL with elbow inflammation, the bullpen is running on fumes after starters averaged fewer than five innings per outing. Kyle Bradish, who looked sharp against the A's despite the team's offensive woes, will need to step up further as the Orioles prepare to face a potent Athletics lineup. With just four hits against lefties and defensive lapses persisting, the Orioles have to find a way to spark their offense and solidify their pitching if they want to turn this season around. They sit at 17-21, and it’s clear the time for a turnaround is now.
