ORIOLES POSTCAST: Baltimore Orioles EMBARRASSED by Los Angeles Angels Rookie Ryan Johnson | Bats Go Silent in 5-1 Loss
from Locked On Orioles - Daily Podcast On The Baltimore Orioles · host Luke Slabaugh
The Orioles had a golden chance to hit a season-high four-game winning streak… and completely fell flat. Luke Slabaugh breaks down a brutal 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, where 23-year-old rookie Ryan Johnson dominated Baltimore’s lineup with a nasty cut fastball, striking out 8 and carrying a no-hitter into the 6th inning. How did this happen against one of the worst teams in the American League? Baltimore finally scratched across a run in the 7th on a Leody Taveras RBI single — he’s now hitting .340 with runners in scoring position — but it was far too little, far too late in an otherwise lifeless offensive performance. We dive into: Why the Orioles offense looked lifeless and unprepared Ryan Johnson’s pitch mix and why the cutter carved up hitters Shane Baz’s early struggles and the costly first inning Missed opportunities and momentum-killing moments What this loss says about the current state of the O’s If you’re frustrated, you’re not alone — this is the kind of game that tests fans. Let’s break it down, get smarter, and figure out what comes next. Subscribe for Orioles postgame analysis, reactions, and insight you won’t get anywhere else. Photo: Gary A.
