The next day after putting a big number up against Boston, the Orioles were on the receiving end of an ugly beatdown.

By the time the dust settled, the O’s fell back below . 500 with a 17-1 demolition at the hands of their last place division rivals. So much for the idea of building on that momentum.

The Orioles remain winless against left-handed starting pitchers in the 2026 season. The two teams traded zeroes in the first inning before things veered off the rails for the Orioles in the second. Starting pitcher Trevor Rogers, last year’s incredible revelation, continued to look like he’s not going to be able to repeat that form or anything close to it.

Rogers simply could not make good pitches to consistently put people away once he got them to two strikes, and the result was that he saw his pitch count balloon in a second inning that he was not able to complete. Rogers got the hook with the bases loaded and two outs in the second inning, having already allowed three runs on four hits and two walks. Only Tyler Wells coming in and stranding all of the inherited runners kept Rogers from taking an even rougher hit to his ERA.
