The home run is a strong indication that the infielder is more prepared as he begins his second season in the major leagues.

An Orioles fan can dare to dream big after watching Tyler O’Neill, Jordan Westburg, Adley Rutschman (twice) and Cedric Mullins (twice) launch homers in a 12-2 win.

There were a smattering of boos for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” although it was more tame than during the national anthem at the 4 Nations hockey tournament last month.

“Let’s put it this way: They’re not sneaking up on anybody," former Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "They’re going to get everybody’s best shot. They’re not the little engine that could.”

Palmer clashed with his former manager repeatedly during his playing career, but the two developed respect that turned into friendship.

Later Sunday, manager Brandon Hyde said right-hander Félix Bautista will break camp with the team and be in Toronto for opening day Thursday.

“He told me about it,” Bautista said. “I was like, ‘That’s really funny. Me too. I’m also throwing it.’”

The seven-pitcher no-hitter is the first combined no-hitter in a spring training game since 2023. It’s the first on record for the Orioles, according to MLB.com.

Gibson pitched for the Orioles in 2023 and posted a 4.73 ERA in 192 innings.

The Baysox are leaning into the situation for a good cause. “If we’re going to go viral, let’s make it count!” the team wrote on its Instagram account.

The move comes one day after men’s basketball coach Kevin Willard said Evans was probably leaving.

A source with direct knowledge said Willard has expressed his intention to remain at Maryland despite reports of interest from Villanova.

Sugano’s final outing of the spring Thursday night was his worst since joining the Orioles, but it set him up to being his first season in MLB.

Henderson has an intercostal muscle strain, and while he completed a normal day of work — taking batting practice and fielding grounders — the 23-year-old may not appear in a spring training game before the finale Sunday.

Mountcastle has driven in 14 runs in 13 games. He’s gone deep five times, and his OPS is 1.130. He’s doing that by pulling the ball 43.3% of the time, per FanGraphs.

Across 151 games for the Tides, Mayo holds a .279 batting average and a .919 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. And yet, his path to Baltimore still appears blocked.

Riley Cooper is not a high-profile pitching prospect in Baltimore’s system; he doesn’t throw with the sort of velocity that captivates scouts and makes front offices salivate. But he gets outs — and then he’ll yell and scream as if the whole stadium can hear the music that courses through him.

Povich spun five no-hit innings, and while he walked three batters, he struck out six. Across his 14 2/3 innings this spring, Povich has struck out 15 batters with just those five runs in his last start against Toronto on his ledger.

Dean Kremer is the reigning pingpong champion from last spring training’s tournament. And while there aren’t plans this year for him to defend his title, each between Kremer and Bowman looked like a heavyweight title fight.
