For at least one more game at Camden Yards, the O’s gave the home crowd something to celebrate — and they ended Toronto’s postseason hopes in the process. Baltimore has four games remaining, while its own elimination number sits at one heading into Wednesday night’s second game of the doubleheader.

PETE ALONSO HIT NO. 40, THE ORIOLES RALLIED, AND BALTIMORE IS STILL ALIVE.

The Orioles erased a 3-0 deficit and stunned the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in Monday’s series opener at Camden Yards. Pete Alonso delivered the signature moment, launching a two-run homer off right-hander Tyler Rogers in the eighth inning after getting a 1-1 two-seamer over the middle of the plate.

Alonso’s blast was his 40th home run of the 2026 season. He becomes the ninth different player to record a 40-homer season for the Orioles, producing the franchise’s 10th 40-home-run season. It was the ki...

The Orioles have gone 19 straight innings without scoring, and Sunday Night Baseball ended with another frustrating shutout.

Baltimore fell 3-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers and completed a sweep at Camden Yards, wasting a huge outing from Brandon Young. Young battled through six innings of two-run baseball, striking out a career-high nine Brewers, but the Orioles offense could not deliver a single run when it mattered most. The Brewers completed the three-game sweep, while Baltimore’s playoff hopes continue to fade with an elimination number of two and only six regular-season games remaining.

But there was one ma...

The Baltimore Orioles had chance after chance to beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night — and they CHOKED away every one of them in a crushing 6-5 extra-inning loss.

Cade Povich could not settle in early, retiring only 11 batters while allowing three earned runs on five hits. The biggest mistake was a lifeless 3-0 changeup that Jackson Chourio crushed for a three-run homer. But the Orioles fought back immediately, as Pete Alonso launched a huge three-run blast to tie the game.

That should have been the turning point.

Instead, Baltimore loaded the bases with on...

The Baltimore Orioles have had bullpen questions all season, but they seem to be pitching their best in the second half. Host Connor Newcomb gives you his latest edition of the Orioles Bullpen Trust Power Rankings and dives into what has made Josh Walker, Luis De Leon, and Anthony Nunez so good lately. 

Then, Connor previews the upcoming weekend series between the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers and then looks around the league to break what other team the O's should be cheering for this weekend.

THE ORIOLES JUST SWEPT THE METS, AND THEY DID IT WITH A FULL-ON HOME RUN PARTY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. Baltimore blasted four homers in the first three innings, then added one final run in the ninth to finish a 7–1 statement win at Citi Field.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Samuel Basallo went back-to-back in the third inning, Jeremiah Jackson crushed a two-run homer, and the Orioles poured it on early against Mets spot starter Xzavion Curry. Pete Alonso’s 301st career home run accounted for New York’s only run.

Samuel Basallo wasn’t finished, either. After launching his 18th...

The Baltimore Orioles erased a late deficit, watched Pete Alonso make history against his former team, and then got one of the wildest extra-inning finishes of the season in a 7-5 win over the Mets in 11 innings.

With the Orioles down to their final three outs in the ninth, Alonso crushed a 2-0 forkball from Kodai Senga for his 300th career home run—a game-tying blast at Citi Field against the franchise where he built his legacy. The Mets crowd still gave their former star a curtain call after the milestone shot.

Then came the extra-inning ch...

Pete Alonso may not have gotten a hit, but it was certainly cool to watch him make his return to Citi Field on Monday night. Host Connor Newcomb recaps the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 victory over the New York Mets and highlights performances from Brandon Young, Heston Kjerstad, Josh Walker, and others.

Then, Connor discusses what the Orioles will do to replace Kyle Bradish in the rotation and gives you the scouting report on RHP Codi Heuer, who was called up to join the bullpen on Monday.

Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field in Orioles black and orange for the first time, one home run shy of career No. 300 ... and while the former Mets franchise home-run king did not get his storybook moment, his new Baltimore teammates made sure he opened the series in Queens with a win.

Luke Slabaugh reacts to the Orioles’ gritty 2-1 victory over the New York Mets in an emotional homecoming night for Alonso. Baltimore’s new first baseman went 0-for-3 with a walk against the organization that drafted him, but he came close to launching No. 300 when he got out...

The Orioles had Dylan Cease backed into a corner in the first inning. They came away with absolutely nothing.

Baltimore dropped Sunday’s series finale in Toronto, 8-1, suffering a crushing loss that feels even bigger than the final score. The O’s loaded the bases with nobody out and worked Cease for 33 pitches in the first, but failed to score. From there, the offense never found a way to make Toronto pay.

Trevor Rogers was sharp early, but the Blue Jays broke through in the fifth inning with back-to-back-to-back home runs from George Springer, Vladimir Guer...

The Orioles needed a statement win in Toronto. Instead, they got buried early.

Kyle Bradish’s birthday start unraveled fast as the Blue Jays tagged him for five earned runs in a deflating 7–3 Orioles loss on Saturday. Toronto refused to chase Bradish’s offspeed pitches, and with his slider and curve difficult to land consistently, the Blue Jays sat on the fastball and did damage.

There were opportunities—and flashes—but Baltimore could not turn them into enough runs. The Orioles worked a 31-pitch first inning against opener Spencer Miles, while Pete Alonso launched his 299th career hom...

THE BIG INNING IS BACK, and the Orioles may have just delivered their most important win of September.

Luke Slabaugh reacts to the Baltimore Orioles’ 7-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre to open a pivotal series in the AL Wild Card chase. After an 8-run inning helped Baltimore finish off Cleveland on Wednesday, the O’s jumped all over Max Scherzer for five runs in the second inning on Friday night.

Dylan Beavers set the tone immediately with his first career leadoff home run, then delivered a two-run single in Baltimore’s huge s...

Coby Mayo is developing into a bat that may deserve more playing time, so would the Orioles try to move him to right field? Host Connor Newcomb answers that question and another in another 'Mailbag' episode. Connor also discusses the outlook for the 2027 Orioles, potentially keep Luis Robert Jr, the best free agent fits, and more, before previewing the series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Baltimore sent its first seven hitters aboard in the third, went 6-for-8 with runners in scoring position in the inning, and made Cleveland pay from top to bottom of the lineup. Dylan Beavers sparked the rally with a bizarre 53-mph bloop double, then...

THE ORIOLES HAD THIS GAME. Then the 11th inning happened. Baltimore fell 6-5 to the Colorado Rockies in 11 innings after Grant Wolfram surrendered three runs in the bottom of the 11th. With automatic runner Connor Norby aboard, Wolfram allowed a leadoff single to T.J. Rumfield on a two-seamer over the heart of the plate, bringing a run to make it 5-4. Then came the crushing blow. With two runners in scoring position, Wolfram left another fastball in the middle of the zone to backup catcher Brett Sullivan. Sullivan lined it to left field, Luis Robert Jr.’s throw ho...

What a brutally frustrating Orioles loss. The Orioles fell 4-2 to the Colorado Rockies after rookie left-hander Luis De León was called up when rosters expanded on September 1 ... and was immediately put into one of the toughest possible situations in his MLB debut. Craig Albernaz said before the game, “We’re not going to ambush him and throw him in the fire right away.” Then, with the game tied 2-2, De Leon entered. A Jackson Holliday error on a Mickey Moniak pop-up extended the inning, and one out later T.J. Rumfield crushed a hanging slider for the go-ahea...

THE ORIOLES FINISH THE SWEEP! 🔥 The Baltimore Orioles erased a four-run deficit to beat the Athletics 8-5 in Sacramento, completing the series sweep behind an absolutely unforgettable day from Gunnar Henderson. Gunnar went a perfect 4-for-4 with two home runs, a triple, and five RBI—his most RBI in a game since July 5, 2023. He started the day by taking left-hander Jeffrey Springs deep in the first inning, then delivered the biggest blow of the afternoon: a three-run homer that flipped the game after Coby Mayo’s huge comeback blast. Down 5-1 in the fourth, Coby Mayo launched an Earl Weaver...

THE ORIOLES ARE SERIES WINNERS! 🔥 Luke Slabaugh reacts to Baltimore’s 5-3 win over the Athletics in Sacramento as the O’s clinch the three-game set—and finally give Shane Baz the support he’s been waiting for. After entering the night with an MLB-low 1.95 runs of support per start since June 18 and no win since June 12, Baz received four runs while he was on the mound. He battled through six innings, and when the game got tight, Baltimore’s bullpen and defense came through in a huge way. In this Orioles Postcast episode: Shane Baz earns his first win since Jun...

THE ORIOLES ARE BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN! Baltimore outlasted the Athletics 4-3 in 10 innings in West Sacramento, delivering a gritty, high-energy road win that felt like a game this team absolutely had to have. Coby Mayo came through with the go-ahead RBI single to the opposite field in the top of the 10th, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand immediately added insurance with an opposite-field RBI single of his own. Then Alex Hoppe slammed the door, earning his first career save as an Oriole. But this was not just another extra-inning win. Blaze Alexander made his long-awaited return after missing time...
