Orioles News
Pete Alonso's dazzling 40th home run provided a fleeting highlight in an otherwise bleak stretch for the Baltimore Orioles, who have seen their playoff hopes all but extinguished after a dismal performance against the Milwaukee Brewers. The shutout loss yesterday marked a low point, extending their struggles to just 3 wins in their last 7 games, with a meager 3.1 runs per game in that stretch. Adding to the team's woes, the promising Jackson Holliday is unlikely to return this season, further dimming the outlook for a team that now looks ahead to an offseason that could involve major trades to acquire star talent. With the Toronto Blue Jays coming to town next, the Orioles are faced with the harsh reality of a season slipping away, and fans are left to wonder what changes the front office will make to reshape this ship for the future.
