The Orioles' loss comes down to three plays that weren’t made at the plate.

Ryan O’Hearn really needed the money.

Eflin’s previous trip to the injured list this year was for a lat strain.

Baltimore now sits 11 games below .500.

In return, the Tigers are trading left-hander Micah Ashman to Baltimore.

PHILADELPHIA — When the hits began to stack against Dean Kremer in the second inning Tuesday night, his mind raced back to Kyle Gibson, as it does on so many occasions since the 2023 season they shared in Baltimore.

HOUSTON — His first major league at-bat played out in Dylan Beavers’ mind for almost as long as he could pick up a bat.

BOSTON — Samuel Basallo took off his catcher’s mask and walked to the mound, then raised his mitt over his mouth to say something to Trevor Rogers. It was the left-hander’s first jam of an otherwise dominant night, two runners in scoring position in the seventh, and the catcher must have sought to give him a breather, to go over the attack plan, to settle any nerves.

"I think I speak for Jackson, Gunnar, Adley, myself, we are more reserved, quiet," Westburg said. "We are more lead-by-example guys. This clubhouse doesn’t really have that loud voice, perhaps."

“For so many reasons, I think acknowledging, supporting and partnering with our HBCUs and our Black sororities and fraternities is an important part of what we’re trying to do,” said Kerry Watson, the Orioles’ executive vice president of public affairs.
