Milwaukee edged Baltimore 1-0 in a pitchers’ duel, sparked by Joey Ortiz’s sun-triple and a Gary Sánchez RBI groundout; Robert Gasser fired seven strong innings and the Brewers’ bullpen closed it out, tying Milwaukee’s franchise record with 97 wins and seven games remain to chase 100.
The Orioles squander a seventh-inning opportunity after manager Craig Albernaz forced Samuel Basallo to bunt, then watch Milwaukee win in the 10th after a late rally—despite a ninth-inning comeback, Baltimore falls 6-5 in extras, fueling criticism of Albernaz’s decisions.
A Baltimore Ravens fan vented about a late notice of parking changes linked to an Orioles overlap, as both teams were set to host home games on the same day for the first time, prompting frustration over planning and travel.
Pete Alonso's ninth-inning homer tied the game as the Orioles beat the Mets 7-5 in 11 innings at Citi Field; in his first return to Citi Field as a visitor, Alonso hit his 300th career homer there, while Mets starter Sean Manaea said fans' reactions to an opposing homer were 'crazy to me' and Alonso seemed to relish the moment. Francisco Lindor urged fans to also show love to rookie pitcher Jonah Tong, who walked Alonso earlier. Interim manager Andy Green stressed that external noise should not affect performance. The Mets sit near the NL East cellar, and attendance over the first two games against Baltimore reached 63,097, the club's best two-game home stretch since Aug. 18-19 vs Padres.
Adley Rutschman, a star catcher who shuns the spotlight, has been traded from the Orioles to the Red Sox and leaned on his father for help during the abrupt transition.
Padres submitted a waiver claim for Luis Robert Jr., but the Orioles, with the worse record, had priority and claimed him. The bid signals the new Padres ownership’s willingness to spend, given Robert’s roughly $20 million salary and a $2 million buyout for 2027, as Robert debuted for Baltimore with a two-run double and is expected to receive regular outfield at-bats while the Orioles navigate injuries.
Baltimore's Colton Cowser leaped at the wall to rob Jake McCarthy of a ninth-inning walk-off homer at Coors Field, preserving a 2-1 Orioles win and keeping Baltimore within a half-game of the AL Wild Card as the playoff race tightens.
The Orioles claimed Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the Mets, taking on his remaining roughly $3M salary plus a $2M buyout on next year’s option; New York saves about $6.3M in the deal. Robert, a once-dynamic five-tool outfielder prone to injuries, is hitting .233/.303/.399 with 10 homers in 218 plate appearances this season and could boost Baltimore’s late-season push, joining Leody Taveras, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers in the outfield, with Nick Morabito being recalled to help fill the roster for New York.
Pete Alonso's go-ahead homer was ruled foul after a crew-chief review, the call stood, sparking fury from Orioles players and staff who cited iPad ball-tracking data (and AI analytics) in defense; the Yankees went on to win 5-3.
Pete Alonso appeared to hit a go-ahead homer off Brent Headrick in the seventh that seemed fair, but home-plate umpire Ryan Wills ruled it foul after a lengthy replay delay; Alonso argued, remained at the plate, and struck out, as the Yankees later scored two runs in the eighth to beat the Orioles 5-3 at Camden Yards.
Baltimore comes back to Camden Yards with momentum after taking 3 of 4 from the Rays and hopes to carry it into a three-game set with the AL East–leading Yankees, who remain playoff-bound but are dealing with injuries to Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger and rely on a power-heavy lineup despite weak batting averages. The Yankees’ strength is elite pitching and a strong bullpen, while the Orioles must capitalize on timely hitting and solid starting pitching. Game 1 features Rodón against Baz, Game 2 has Bassitt returning from the IL in a to-be-determined matchup (with a potential Will Warren filling in if Max Fried remains out), and Game 3 pits Gerrit Cole against Kyle Bradish, a matchup Cole has historically owned against Baltimore. The series could hinge on whether Baltimore can slow the Yankees’ power and generate enough offense to back their pitching.
The Baltimore Orioles traded star catcher Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox in a blockbuster deadline move, leaving the Orioles’ clubhouse in shock as teammates grapple with an Adley-sized hole that will take time to heal.
The Orioles received a four-player package from Boston for Adley Rutschman: Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon (two top-100 pitching prospects), Enddy Azocar (a power-hitting teenage outfielder), and Carlos Narváez (a controllable major league catcher).
The Red Sox reportedly acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles (medicals approved), with Boston also receiving Jake Rogers while Baltimore gets a package including Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, Enddy Azocar and Carlos Narváez; Rutschman is under team control through 2027 and is expected to take over as Boston’s starting catcher when healthy, while the deal clears room for Samuel Basallo in Baltimore.
Boston and Baltimore completed a blockbuster MLB trade, sending Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, Enddy Azocar and Carlos Narváez to acquire Adley Rutschman and Jake Rogers from the Orioles. Rutschman, currently on the injured list with left wrist inflammation, is expected to begin a minor-league rehab soon and would bolster Boston behind the plate with control through 2027; Baltimore clears room for Samuel Basallo, though surrendering a top pitching prospect could have long-term repercussions.
