I’ve thrown a lot of very meaningful September innings for playoff teams and teams chasing playoff spots and I know what it takes to get outs at this stage of the season and I’m just watching from the sideline.”Manager Gabe Kapler said, “we actually have a p...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:11:25 GMT

Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg are the Orioles’ two youngest position players. Aaron Hicks and James McCann are their two oldest.That quartet combined for five home runs, two by McCann, in a 13-12 victory over the Boston Red Sox, an offensive output that helped cover for another poor start from trade acquisition Jack Flaherty and a shaky night for the Orioles’ bullpen and defense. Baltimore allowed a season-high 23 hits, leaving multiple runners on base in each of the final three innings as a four-run lead entering the bottom of the ninth nearly vanished.Winning their seventh straight game and series, the Orioles (90-51) reached the 90-win mark for the first time since 2014, the last time they won the AL East. Saturday’s victory at Fenway Park held their division lead on the Tampa Bay Rays at four games and dropped their magic number to clinch a playoff spot to six.During each game of their winning streak, the Orioles have recorded double-digit hits, and nine...
