Episode Details

The Orioles had this one. A 6-4 lead in the seventh. A huge offensive evening. Then it completely unraveled in St. Petersburg. Yennier Cano entered with Baltimore ahead and could not record an out, allowing three runs in another concerning, command-less outing. The Orioles ultimately dropped the series finale to the Rays, 7-6—and the bullpen meltdown wasted an explosive day from the lineup. Coby Mayo got the scoring started with an absolute 468-foot, 114 MPH bomb off Shane McClanahan. Christian Encarnacion-Strand stayed scorching hot on the road trip, driving in four runs with a two-run homer. Pete Alonso added a solo shot and extended his hitting streak to nine games. But Brandon Young could not settle in, lasting only four innings while surrendering three homers—including a brutal 0-2 backup slider to former Oriole Jorge Mateo. Yandy Díaz and Ryan Vilade also went deep as Baltimore’s pitching staff kept leaving fastballs in dangerous spots. Luke Slabaugh reacts to an infuriating Orioles collapse, Cano’s back-to-back shaky appearances, Young’s rough command, the offense that deserved better, and what this loss means moving forward.
