Last night was nearly a marquee win for the Orioles team. Instead, it was just another disappointing loss. The team has no choice but to flush the defeat and try to get back on the right track tonight. It won’t be an easy matchup.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrown 16.1 innings over his last two starts and allowed two earned runs, three hits, no walks, and 11 strikeouts. He was an out away from no hitting the Orioles last September before they stormed back for an improbable win.
Trevor Rogers may finally
be finding his footing. He’s got a 3.12 ERA this month, and has not allowed more than three runs in each of his last three starts. The Orioles need him to rediscover his 2025 form with a quickness.
Adley Rutschman was placed on the seven-day concussion IL just before the game. Michael Siani, a 26-year-old outfielder that has spent parts of the last four seasons in the majors, was called up in his place. Siani stole 20 bases on 23 attempts for the Cardinals in 2024. The catching role will be filled by Samuel Basallo and Sam Huff for the next week or so.
