Ripken’s streak remains a marvel, three decades after he broke Gehrig’s record

September 8, 2025

The Orioles celebrated the 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken’s record-breaking 2,131st consecutive game over the weekend. Ripken’s streak, which ran from 1982 to 1998, looks even more impressive today. Only eight players in baseball have played every game in 2025 so far. Matt Olson holds the longest active streak, having not missed a game since 2021. He would need to continue until 2037 to match Ripken’s 2,632 games. Olson is currently at 763.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was an out from a no-hitter. It somehow turned into another loss for the Dodgers

September 6, 2025

Yoshinobu Yamamoto came close to a no-hitter at Camden Yards, only to allow a home run to Baltimore’s Jackson Holliday. That sparked a four-run rally in the ninth inning, leading the Orioles to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. The Dodgers have now lost five straight games, missing a chance to widen their lead in the NL West. The Orioles, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-breaking game, pulled off what has to be considered their win of the year. Yamamoto, who had 10 strikeouts, was relieved after Holliday’s homer.

An out from being no-hit, the Orioles stun the Dodgers with 4 runs in the 9th to win 4-3

September 6, 2025

Jackson Holliday homered with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to deny Yoshinobu Yamamoto a no-hitter, and the Baltimore Orioles weren’t satisfied with that, rallying for four runs in the inning to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 in a delirious comeback. Emmanuel Rivera’s two-run single off Tanner Scott won it. Scott also allowed a walk-off homer to Orioles rookie Samuel Basallo the previous night. But the real culprit was Blake Treinen, who relieved Yamamoto after Holliday’s homer. He gave up a double to Jeremiah Jackson, hit Gunnar Henderson and walked Ryan Mountcastle and Colton Cowser to make it 3-2.

Holliday’s 2-out homer in the 9th denies Dodgers’ Yamamoto a no-hitter

September 6, 2025

Jackson Holliday homered with two outs in the ninth inning for the Baltimore Orioles, denying Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers a no-hitter. There still hasn’t been a no-hitter in the major leagues in 2025. The 27-year-old right-hander from Japan came close, allowing only two baserunners — both on third-inning walks — and tying a career high with 10 strikeouts. His 112th and final pitch — also a career high since coming to the U.S. — was hit just over the fence in right field by Holliday.

Orioles reach a $67 million, 8-year deal with 21-year-old catcher Samuel Basallo

August 22, 2025

The Baltimore Orioles have reached a long-term deal with rookie catcher Samuel Basallo. The eight-year, $67 million agreement starts in 2026 and includes a team option for 2034. Basallo, ranked as baseball’s No. 8 prospect, made his big league debut just last weekend. The move comes amid a disappointing year for the Orioles, who are in last place in the AL East. It’s the first major long-term deal this Baltimore front office has been able to reach with one of the Orioles’ standout prospects, and it comes just four games into Basallo’s big league career after he made his debut Sunday.

The Mariners are starting a road trip that also includes games against the Mets and Phillies. They will face Houston again in mid-September.

Split doubleheader: Domínguez traded from Orioles to Blue Jays in between games against each other

July 29, 2025

The Baltimore Orioles have traded reliever Seranthony Domínguez to the Toronto Blue Jays. The trade happened Tuesday between games of a doubleheader between the teams. Domínguez didn’t pitch in the Orioles’ 16-4 win in the opener. He was exchanged for minor league pitcher Juaron Watts-Brown. Then he pitched an inning for Toronto in the nightcap, which Baltimore won 3-2. The Orioles, currently in last place, have also traded other relievers recently. The AL East-leading Blue Jays hope Domínguez can bolster their bullpen.

Who says situational hitting is dead? Orioles tie the major league record with 5 sacrifice flies

July 29, 2025

The Baltimore Orioles tied a major league record with five sacrifice flies in their 16-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. This happened in the opener of Tuesday’s doubleheader. Tyler O’Neill and Cedric Mullins hit sac flies in the first inning. Ramón Urías and Mullins added two more in the third. Jackson Holliday’s flyout in the eighth tied the record. The sacrifice fly became official in 1954, and Baltimore is the fourth team to achieve this feat. The Orioles also hit four home runs in the game.

Why did the Orioles and Rockies keep playing after fans evacuated seats?

July 25, 2025

The Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies played through rain even after fans were told to move due to potential lightning. The game at Camden Yards continued because the decision to clear fans and the decision to pause the game are made by different authorities. Crew chief Bill Miller said the umpires didn’t see lightning close enough to stop play. Fans were moved around the sixth inning but could return by the end of the seventh. Baltimore’s interim manager praised the decision to prioritize fan safety. The game was never delayed despite the weather concerns.

Orioles make history by turning a 6-0 deficit into a 14-run win against Tampa Bay

June 27, 2025

No lead is safe this year when the Baltimore Orioles face the Tampa Bay Rays. Certainly not with seven innings still to play. On June 18, Tampa Bay beat Baltimore 12-8 after the Orioles had taken an 8-0 lead in the top of the second. Then on Friday night — nine days later — it was the Rays who opened the scoring with six runs in the second. Only for Baltimore to storm back and rout Tampa Bay 22-8. According to information released by the team from the Elias Sports Bureau, Baltimore became the first team in either the American or National League to win by at least 14 runs after trailing by six.

After falling behind by 6 in the 2nd inning, the Orioles storm back and rout Tampa Bay 22-8

June 27, 2025

Gary Sanchez homered and drove in four runs, Ramón Laureano scored four times and the Baltimore Orioles stormed back from an early six-run deficit to rout the Tampa Bay Rays 22-8. The Orioles were on the wrong end of a similar comeback against Tampa Bay just nine days earlier, when the Rays rallied from down 8-0 to beat Baltimore 12-8. Tampa Bay opened the scoring with six runs in the second. Jonathan Aranda, Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe all homered in that inning, but Sanchez, Jackson Holliday, Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo went deep for the Orioles.
