Orioles News
The Baltimore Orioles' playoff hopes took another hit as they fell to the Chicago Cubs 9-7, marking their third loss in a row and dropping their record to 42-50. Despite a promising start with Pete Alonso launching a two-run homer, the game quickly unraveled when Dean Kremer surrendered three home runs in a disastrous fifth inning. The offense showed some life, with a total of nine homers hit in the contest, but it wasn't enough to overcome the pitching woes. As the team prepares for a matinee rematch today, the looming inclement weather has already shifted the game time to 1:35 p.m. ET, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to an already shaky situation for a team that needs to rally quickly if they want to keep their postseason dreams alive.
