Orioles News
The Baltimore Orioles opened a crucial weekend series against the Washington Nationals with a disappointing 3-2 loss, continuing their struggle to build any momentum after a recent series win against the Yankees. With a record of 20-24, the O's are caught in a rut, and the absence of Jordan Westburg, who is out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, only adds to their woes. The team has turned to Coby Mayo, who is doing his best to adapt back to third base but has seen his performance at the plate suffer as a result. Meanwhile, as they face the National League's weaker team, the Orioles desperately need to capitalize on this opportunity to gain ground in the standings and shake off their recent lukewarm vibes.
