Baltimore Form & Recent Results

Baltimore comes into this matchup trying to bounce back from a loss, as the Orioles are currently riding a one-game skid. Still, that recent defeat does not completely erase the solid stretch they had been on beforehand, as they had won four of their previous five games heading into Saturday. One of those victories came in the Bronx against the Yankees in the opening game of Friday’s doubleheader, which was a strong road win against a division opponent. The other three wins during that run came at home against the Blue Jays, giving Baltimore some positive momentum before the second game against New York slowed them down. In that 6-3 loss to the Yankees in the nightcap of the doubleheader, designated hitter Dylan Beavers was one of the more notable contributors at the plate. He finished the game 1-for-5, but made his hit count by launching a home run, scoring a run, and driving in one RBI.

Even though Baltimore came up short in that second game, the offense still managed to produce a decent amount of traffic on the bases. The Orioles finished with eleven hits, one home run, and sixteen total bases, showing that they were able to put the ball in play and create opportunities, even if they could not fully capitalize. On the pitching side, Baltimore’s staff allowed eight hits in the loss. Looking at the season as a whole, first baseman Pete Alonso has been the biggest power threat in the Orioles’ lineup, leading the team with forty-three home runs. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson and third baseman Coby Mayo have also provided plenty of pop, as both players have hit twenty-four home runs so far this year. Alonso has been Baltimore’s top run producer as well, leading the club with one hundred thirteen RBI, and he also owns the team’s best batting average at .267. The Orioles have averaged five runs per game in their last five, and they will be looking to keep their bats active as they try to slow down a Yankees team carrying momentum into the playoffs.
