Orioles Clubhouse Podcast: Orioles vs Angels 08-04-26

The Orioles opened their series against the Los Angeles Angels with a 3-1 win that felt like a reset after a turbulent trade deadline day. Cade Povich delivered a standout performance, working through traffic without allowing a run while the defense backed him with timely plays and a pair of pickoffs. The game also featured former Oriole Grayson Rodriguez on the mound for the Angels, adding another layer to a night full of familiar faces and fresh storylines. Baltimore's offense did just enough, with Pete Alonso driving in two runs and Tyler O'Neill adding a pinch-hit home run for insurance. Christian Franklin made his Major League debut, reached base, scored the first run of the game, and impressed in left field. The win also received a boost from the out-of-town scoreboard, leaving the Orioles a game and a half out in the wild card race.
