The Orioles combined for only three runs in a series loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Orioles entered the weekend hoping to seize control of the AL East. In a home series against a sub-.500 opponent, the offense scored three runs in three days. Baltimore failed to plate a single run this afternoon and fell 2-0 to the Rays at Camden Yards.

Corbin Burnes looks to lead Baltimore to a series victory over the Rays.
Are you ready for some baseball? The Orioles kick off at 12:05 today on the first full day of NFL football.
The O’s offense will look to pick things up today against Tampa starter Zack Littell. Baltimore combined for only three runs in the first two games of the series. The Birds took the first game 2-0 before falling 7-1 yesterday afternoon.

There was excellent starting pitching in Bowie and a bloodbath for the Shorebirds
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Charlotte Knights (CWS) 4The Tides jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning thanks to doubles from TT Bowens and Forrest Wall, a Jud Fabian walk, a single from Niko Goodrum, and an error from the Knights shortstop. Starting pitcher Brandon Young gave the entire lead back in the following two innings. It wasn’t a great night for Young,...

The Orioles have scored four runs in their last three games.
Hello, friends.
The Orioles. (sigh) No matter how much fans try to will them into a lengthy stretch of quality play, it just keeps on not happening. Regular stinkers are something that we’ve been able to count on for nearly the last three full months, with the Orioles playing at a .500 clip dating back to June 10. They dropped another dumb one on Saturday afternoon, with a variety of things...

The defeat combined with a Yankees victory means that the Orioles have fallen into second place.
One of the hallmarks of the 2024 Orioles season is their penchant for playing games that are perfectly calibrated to make everybody mad. Since June, they have been playing these games exactly half of the time. Saturday afternoon brought on another one of these games. The first Rays batter of the game hit a home run and the O’s never came back from that on...
The Orioles announced this afternoon that they’ve signed infielder Terrin Vavra to a minor league deal. Vavra was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week and elected free agency shortly thereafter.
On his fourth team in four years, Emmanuel Rivera finally has found a groove, helping to propel a struggling Baltimore Orioles offense. Claimed on August 21 by the Orioles via the Miami Marlins, Rivera was slashing .214/.294/.269 in 2024.

The Orioles are unbeaten in Zach Eflin starts since he joined the team. Keep it rolling today.
In addition to their narrow half-game lead atop the American League East, the Orioles come into Saturday afternoon’s game against the Rays with a magic number of 11 to clinch anything at all. We’ll have an idea of possible movement for the East standings not long after this game gets under way, because the Yankees are in action against the Cubs starting...

Dean Kremer diced up the Rays, the bullpen was just as good, and Cal is loving his role in the organization.
Good Morning, Birdland!
The weekend got off to a pleasant start on Friday night. Dean Kremer turned in his finest outing of the season, less than a week removed from taking a line drive to the forearm. And the Orioles bullpen was equally impressive, particularly Yennier Cano, who worked out of a bases-loaded, no outs jam to lift the O’s to a 2-0 win over...

The Orioles affiliates split their Friday games, with teams getting six hits overall as a recurring theme.
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Charlotte (White Sox) 6The Tides were trailing by three runs heading into the bottom of the ninth and managed to load the bases before anyone made an out. The first and second outs came and went and Norfolk did not manage to advance any runner. On the verge of complete disaster, prospect Jud Fabian kept the line moving with an RBI...

It was an outstanding night for the Orioles pitching staff as four arms combined to shutout the Rays to open the weekend series.
The pitching staff led the Orioles from start to finish as they squeaked past the Rays for a 2-0 series-opening win on Friday night at Camden Yards.
This was an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel early on. Neither starter allowed a hit through the first three innings. Gunnar Henderson put an end to that with a lead-off single in the...
Dean Kremer pitched six no-hit innings, Gunnar Henderson homered again and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.

You know what must be done.
It is Friday night.
The Orioles have beaten the Rays, 2-0. Dean Kremer started the party by pitching six no-hit innings, only allowing a hit to lead off the seventh. Kremer’s outing, don’t forget, came days after he took a line drive off the wrist and had a terrible-looking welt.
The Rays only had three hits over the whole game, which meant that Jackson Holliday’s sacrifice fly and Gunnar Henderson’s solo shot for his...

Dean Kremer is healthy and back on the bump to begin a weekend series against the Rays.
The Orioles go into tonight’s series opener against the Rays with the understanding that the Yankees have already won today in Chicago. That means the O’s have to win in order to retain their solo spot atop the AL East. A loss dips them to second by half a game.
It’s nice to see Dean Kremer back on the bump. Less than a week ago he was smack with a line drive in...
When catcher Adley Rutdchman was selected first overall by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2019 June Amateur Draft, some people thought he might be the best catching prospect since MLB went to the current draft format in 1987.

The Orioles don’t have many games left against teams who are totally out of the race right now.
The 2024 Orioles season has 21 games left to be played. Only six of those games will be against teams who currently have below-.500 records. Three of them are lined up this weekend as the Orioles have the Rays come in to Camden Yards.
It’s not nearly as much of a bad team as the Orioles just faced with series against the Rockies and White Sox. The Rays...

On Tuesday night against the White Sox, Povich showed great command and an evolved pitch mix that could be a recipe going forward.
Safe to say, it hasn’t been the smoothest of rookie seasons for Cade Povich. Thrust into a starter’s role this year only due to injury, in twelve games the 24-year-old lefty has a 2-7 record and 5.76 ERA, including three starts where he allowed five runs or more. When Povich is vulnerable, he’s missing the strike zone or...

The six top teams in the American League are jockeying for position while others are falling out of the race.
Each week on Camden Chat, we’ve been checking in on the American League postseason contenders. This past week, the Orioles leapfrogged the Yankees and grabbed hold of the best record in the American League, while a few other postseason hopefuls folded. Let’s check out what just happened and what’s coming up next.
We knew that playing two series against...

After a day off, the Orioles are back in action, and they need to keep winning series.
Good Morning, Birdland,
Another series starts tonight as the O’s play host to the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. The Florida team defies explanation. They have been outscored by 60 runs this year, giving them an expected win-loss record of 63-76. Instead, they sit at 69-70, fourth in the AL East but still with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs.
Even worse, the Rays are...

The Shorebirds hung 12 runs on Carolina, and Dylan Beavers led Bowie to an 8-3 victory.
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 5, Norfolk Tides 3Anthony Servideo provided Norfolk an early lead with a two-run homer in the third, but Charlotte ended the game on a 5-1 run. Recent minor-league signing Adrian Houser tossed three scoreless innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Houser allowed five earned runs over the next three...
