Dean Kremer got rocked, and the Orioles paid the price in a 9-7 loss. In his fourth start of the season, Kremer serves up FOUR solo home runs as the Cubs turn this one into a long night early. Pete Crow-Armstrong crushes the splitter twice, Michael Conforto and Carson Kelly go back-to-back, and suddenly the O’s are buried. And it didn’t stop there—Grant Wolfram pours gasoline on the fire with a brutal outing, uncorking a wild pitch and then giving up a 3-run bomb to Seiya Suzuki that completely blows the game open. Offensively, there were real signs of life. Pete Alonso launches his 20th homer of the year (before the All-Star break), continuing his massive impact in Baltimore. Then the bats wake up in the 7th and 8th—Coby Mayo delivers a pinch-hit solo shot, Tyler O’Neill goes deep TWICE off the bench, and Taylor Ward adds an RBI knock to extend a rally and make it interesting. But the early damage was too much to overcome against Colin Rea and the Cubs. If you’re an Orioles fan, you felt this one. Let’s break it all down—what went wrong, what it means, and where this team goes next. Subscribe for daily Orioles coverage, game breakdowns, and real talk you won’t get anywhere else.

he Orioles offense had no answers AGAIN for Matthew Boyd. Boyd dominated Baltimore with 6 shutout innings at Camden Yards, continuing a pattern after blanking them for 7 innings at Wrigley in 2025. Pair that with back-to-back Cubs shutouts in Baltimore in 2024, and this matchup is starting to feel one-sided. Adley Rutschman came through with a clutch 2-out, 2-run single to get the Orioles on the board, but overall it wasn’t enough. Baltimore finished just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position — and that tells the story. Shane Baz got electric results early, retiring the first 8 Cubs on just 23 pitches before running into trouble. Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered key RBIs, and defensive lapses from the Orioles outfield didn’t help. Dylan Beavers misplayed a fly ball that turned into a leadoff double, and a no-throw sac fly to Taylor Ward allowed another easy run. Anthony Nunez also allowed two runs in relief as the game slipped further away late. We break down: Why Matthew Boyd continues to dominate this lineup The Orioles’ ongoing RISP struggles Baz’s dominant start and what changed Defensive mistakes that cost runs What this loss means moving forward If you felt this one slipping early, you weren’t alone — let’s talk about it.

The Orioles bring the ENERGY in a gritty 3-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds — their second shutout of the season — and this one had everything. Trevor Rogers was effectively wild, tying a career high with 5 walks but stranding SEVEN runners and never breaking. The O’s pitching staff? Nails. Ten total Reds left on base. And then came the spark — Samuel Basallo CRUSHES a two-run homer off Brady Singer to blow it open. Add in aggressive baserunning with Gunnar Henderson scoring on a double steal + throwing error, and suddenly this game had edge, swagger, and execution. Here’s the wild part: Baltimore wins AGAIN with 4 hits or fewer. That’s two games this season. This team is finding ways to win — pitching, pressure, and timely power. Luke Slabaugh breaks it all down on the Orioles Postcast — the moments that mattered, what this win says about the staff, and why this felt bigger than just Game 80. If you’re riding with this team, this is your show.
