Dean Kremer lasted just 4 1/3 innings, putting Baltimore’s bullpen in a tough spot and making it difficult for Brandon Hyde to get favorable matchups as the game slipped away.

The MLB’s new balanced schedule means fewer games against vaunted AL East rivals — but that only makes the divisional games all that more important.

Fans came for Grayson Rodriguez’s first start at Camden Yards, but Ryan Mountcastle stole the show with 9 RBIs, including four on a grand slam that traveled 456 feet.

“I like it. I like it a lot. It just kind of allows me to turn my brain off a little bit and just focus, kind of have hyperfocus for a few batters, one inning, one-plus innings, two innings, whatever it might be,” Baumann said.

The unveiling of the home run celebration is an important step for Baltimore’s clubhouse and dugout chemistry and camaraderie.

The pitcher is accustomed to working in front of an audience. This time, though, he was the one watching in awe.

Cordero, who also went deep on Friday, spent spring training with the Orioles but was not given a spot on the final roster — a decision Baltimore's front office may now be regretting.

Some Orioles players seek tranquility from their walk-up song. Others want to be pumped up. Whatever the motivation, players become known based on the music they choose. These are the songs the Orioles’ hitters picked.

A boisterous sellout crowd of 45,017 at the home opener saw the Orioles’ hang on for a 7-6 win against the New York Yankees. “It’s really an honor for me to start seeing that," shortstop Jorge Mateo said. “We play from the heart, and the fans see that.”

Gunnar Henderson spends his winters away from the spotlight, back in his hometown around his family and friends. “It’s pretty special to be able to be in the big leagues and then go back home and just train and get ready for it there,” Henderson said.

“I’m praying for a good outing,” Temple Rodriguez, Grayson's mother, said. “It’s very surreal. My heart rate’s crazy. And I just want him to have a good outing.”

Lauren and Danny Coulombe hope to raise autism awareness within a new community and city, by creating an environment that welcomes people like their son, 4-year-old Theo.

Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo has clobbered 19 career home runs, and four of them have come at Globe Life Field against the Texas Rangers.

Grayson Rodriguez, Baltimore’s top-ranked pitching prospect, will make his major league debut Wednesday against the Texas Rangers, the team announced.

After opening the year without a hit during his first three games, Gunnar Henderson exploded onto the scene with that home run in the fourth inning of Baltimore’s 2-0 victory against the Texas Rangers.

Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish crumpled to the ground in the second inning after a 104-mph line drive struck his lower right leg against the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

The Orioles reliever worked his way up from independent ball and spent off-season months digging pools as he waited for his chance.

The Orioles’ starters have combined to pitch 12 innings thus far, and they’ve conceded 15 earned runs between them for an 11.25 ERA. Baltimore didn’t allow eight earned runs in three straight games throughout the entire 2022 season.

Jorge Mateo can’t stop running. Then again, neither can Cedric Mullins or the rest of the Orioles' baserunners. All that running has left its mark, both on Mateo’s finger and the Major League record book. Through the Orioles’ first two games of the season, they set a major league record with 10 steals.

The game looked like it was over. It should’ve been over. A lazy fly ball to Orioles left fielder Ryan McKenna from Matasaka Yoshida in the ninth inning appeared to be the Red Sox’s last gasp in Saturday’s game, but McKenna instead was left staring at his glove in disbelief after the ball bounced off of it and fell to the ground.
