Orioles Struggle Against Starting Pitchers | Baltimore Orioles News

The Orioles’ offense is in freefall against starting pitchers, sinking them into the league’s dregs in runs and batting average—despite a lineup built to be a strength. Their strategy of relying on relievers backfires when they’re consistently behind early, and even their best player’s slump adds to the frustration. While they’ve shown flashes of brilliance in late innings, scoring big in high-leverage situations, their first six innings have been a disaster—worse than last year’s—and they’re scoring fewer runs now than they did at this point last season, even with easier pitching matchups. Warmer weather hasn’t helped; strikeouts are up, slugging is down, and the team’s stuck in a cycle they can’t break.
