ORIOLES POSTCAST: Baltimore Orioles Sweep is DENIED as Bats Go Silent in 3-1 Loss to Tampa Bay Rays

Luke Slabaugh — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 20:55:38 GMT

The Orioles had a chance to sweep the Rays, and instead delivered one of their most infuriating offensive performances of the season. Luke Slabaugh reacts to Baltimore’s 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay in Sunday’s series finale. Nick Martinez absolutely carved up the O’s lineup, retiring 17 straight Orioles after Colton Cowser’s third-inning double. Cowser’s ninth-inning homer prevented a shutout, but Baltimore still narrowly avoided its fifth shutout loss of the year—and saw its franchise-record single-season 121-game walk streak come to an end. Meanwhile, Shane Baz once again received virtually no help. Baz battled through command issues, worked around traffic, induced double plays, and held Tampa Bay to one run through five innings. But a two-out sixth-inning snowball—featuring a Yandy Díaz single, Jonathan Aranda RBI knock, a wild pitch, and a Junior Caminero single—turned another winnable start into a frustrating loss. Baz has now received only 15 runs of support across his last 12 starts since June 18. The Orioles’ offense has to be better. Period. In this episode: Orioles lose 3-1 to Rays and miss a series sweep Nick Martinez dominates Baltimore’s lineup Colton Cowser homers late to avoid the shutout Orioles’ 121-game walk streak ends Shane Baz gets burned after another low-support outing What went wrong in the sixth inning Why this loss feels bigger than one bad offensive day Subscribe for daily Orioles Postcast reactions, analysis, frustration, and everything that matters around Birdland.

ORIOLES POSTCAST: ORIOLES WALK IT OFF! Dylan Beavers Delivers 10th-Inning Magic vs. Tampa Bay Rays

Luke Slabaugh — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 02:24:59 GMT

THE ORIOLES WALK IT OFF IN EXTRA INNINGS! Dylan Beavers delivered another unforgettable walk-off moment, lacing a 10th-inning, game-winning hit off former Oriole Bryan Baker to bring home Leody Taveras and give Baltimore a dramatic 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Luke Slabaugh reacts to an absolutely electric Orioles win on the Orioles Postcast: Beavers’ back-to-back-month walk-off heroics, Samuel Basallo’s massive pinch-hit, game-tying home run, Tyler O’Neill’s clutch defense, and how the O’s battled through another frustrating early offensive showing against Shane McClanahan. Basallo launched his 17th homer of the season in the eighth inning after Jackson Holliday reached base, giving Camden Yards the jolt it desperately needed. Then the Orioles bullpen and defense held the line long enough for more October-style Orioles Magic in the bottom of the 10th. Brandon Young wasn’t dominant, but Baltimore stayed within striking distance after Liam Hicks’ second-inning homer. Pete Alonso collected two hits, Coby Mayo reached twice, and the Orioles finally made the Rays pay when the game mattered most. If you live for Orioles Magic, this is the postgame show for you.

ORIOLES POSTCAST: Pete Alonso’s 30th home run POWERS Baltimore Orioles Past Tampa Bay Rays

Luke Slabaugh — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 02:06:51 GMT

Pete Alonso launched his 30th home run of the season—a go-ahead two-run blast—to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-3 series-opening win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Luke Slabaugh reacts to Alonso’s huge night: three RBIs, a career-high 13-game hitting streak, and his sixth consecutive 30-home-run season. The Polar Bear delivered when Baltimore needed him most after Jackson Holliday’s wild fifth-inning sequence tied the game. Holliday checked his swing on a 2-2 pitch, initially headed back to the Orioles dugout, then learned the Rays’ appeal at third was unsuccessful. Kevin Cash was ejected, and Holliday immediately made Tampa Bay pay with a game-tying sacrifice fly. Alonso followed with the knockout swing. Also on this Orioles Postcast: Trevor Rogers battles through a rough second inning and retires 12 straight Rays Dillon Beavers crushes a first-pitch home run Holliday starts the game with a double and scores on Alonso’s RBI single What Alonso’s 30th homer and historic streak mean for Baltimore The controversy, Kevin Cash ejection, and the fifth-inning momentum swing The Orioles found a way, Pete Alonso delivered the thunder, and Baltimore takes Game 1 from Tampa Bay.
