Orioles News

Gunnar Henderson's struggles this season, including battling a wrist issue, highlight a disappointing year for the young shortstop, as he ended with a lackluster .226 average and only a slight edge over league average in wRC+. Despite the personal setbacks, the Orioles demonstrated their resilience with a commanding 10-2 win over the Yankees in their first game of a double-header, showcasing their offensive potential even as they face the reality of a losing season at 79-82. However, the night ended on a sour note with a 6-3 loss in the second game, solidifying their fate of finishing below .500 for the year.

A Sloppy Nightcap Loss In Hinds-sight
Friday’s nightcap was a 6-3 loss by the Baltimore Orioles at the hands of the New York Yankees (93-68). The loss guarantees the Orioles a losing record in 2026 even if Sunday’s game is played as planned.
