25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

“We’re going to have to do that. We’re going to have to go out and bang with somebody. We’re going to have to go out and out-grind somebody. … “But it was just kind of one of those nights where it was just like, ‘Man, the grind wasn’t enough.’” www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

The pitching matchup for Wednesday night's Rangers-#Orioles rubber game at Camden Yards: RHP Jacob deGrom (233 career starts, 2 Cy Youngs, 4-time All-Star, 2.50 lifetime ERA) vs. RHP Brandon Young (2 career starts, 6.23 ERA, O's No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline)

Ryan O'Hearn on #Orioles' loss: "The big inning, we score five runs, and it feels like we’re going to steal one there and it’s going to be a great win for us. And then, unfortunately, you guys saw what happened. Tough one to lose, for sure."

Brandon Young will start for #Orioles tomorrow

Colton Cowser was available, but #Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said the spots they were going to consider pinch-hitting him, Rangers went to lefties and O’s liked matchups

Orioles lose 6-5 in ten innings. Series concludes tomorrow night. www.mlb.com/gameday/rang...

Extra innings at Camden Yards, where the Rangers and #Orioles are tied at 5. Seranthony Domínguez will pitch for the O's in the 10th.

Rangers had a runner on 2nd with no outs, but #Orioles closer Félix Bautista keeps the game tied at 5 with a scoreless top of the 9th. O's will now try to walk it off. Ramón Urías, Ryan O'Hearn, Luis Vázquez due up.

With the game tied at 5, #Orioles closer Félix Bautista entering to pitch the top of the 9th inning vs. Rangers. O's are the only MLB team without a walk-off win this season. They'll need to change that in order to win tonight.

1st time #Orioles have hit back-to-back-to-back home runs since Jonathan Schoop, Chris Davis and Trey Mancini did it on Aug. 6, 2017, vs. Tigers.

Ramón Urías goes back to back. His 6th home run of the season. And just like that, #Orioles and Rangers are tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 7th inning.

Gary Sánchez has 3 home runs for the #Orioles, all over 8 games played since coming off the IL on June 14. This 3-run blast traveled a Statcast-projected 425 feet.

Gary Sánchez 3-run homer. #Orioles cut Rangers' lead to 4-3 in bottom of the 7th.

Gunnar Henderson follows with a 4-pitch walk, and that'll do it for Rangers lefty Jacob Latz. #Orioles have runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs in the bottom of the 7th. Texas righty Chris Martin entering to face Gary Sánchez.

Final line for #Orioles starter Charlie Morton: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's. 100 pitches, 65 strikes. All 3 Rangers runs scored during Morton's 43-pitch 4th.

For the 2nd consecutive night, 1st-pitch temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit for Rangers-#Orioles at Camden Yards

Jacob Stallings is a 10-year MLB veteran who has played for Pirates (2016-21), Marlins (2022-23), Rockies (2024-25). The 35-year-old hit .143 with 3 doubles and 6 RBIs in 28 games for Colorado this season. He was released on June 6. Won an NL Gold Glove for Pittsburgh in 2021.

Tonight’s #Orioles lineup vs. Rangers

Ryan Mountcastle (right hamstring strain) could return on the shorter side of the initial 8-12 week timetable. #Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said it could be close to after Mountcastle is eligible to return in late July.

Tomoyuki Sugano isn’t starting for #Orioles on Wednesday because team is trying to give him as much rest as possible, especially after pitching in 6-man rotation during career in Japan, per interim manager Tony Mansolino.

Brandon Young (#Orioles’ No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline) will pitch in Wednesday’s finale vs. Rangers, but he may not start. Could follow an opener, per interim manager Tony Mansolino.

Jordan Westburg (left index finger sprain) not in #Orioles lineup tonight but he’s “closer” than team initially thought. “Probably” in lineup Wednesday, “definitely” by Friday, per interim manager Tony Mansolino.

Brandon Young (#Orioles’ No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline) would be on regular rest for Wednesday, when O’s have TBA listed as starter vs. Rangers. Terrin Vavra likely here as a precaution for Jordan Westburg, who has missed 2 games due to a left index finger sprain.

Austin Overn has an impressive background -- 5 sports, including 2 (football, baseball) played at USC. He even caught practice passes from a Heisman Trophy winner. Now, the 22-year-old is the #Orioles' No. 30 prospect (per MLB Pipeline) and improving at High-A Aberdeen: www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

Jackson Holliday's slash line vs. LHPs through May 16 this season: .240/.321/.280 Since Tony Mansolino became #Orioles' interim manager on May 17: .293/.310/.512 In June: .367/.367/.667

Tony Mansolino on Jackson Holliday hitting first for #Orioles: "I don't think this kid goes anywhere else in the lineup. I took him out of the leadoff spot against [Tarik] Skubal. I don't think I'll ever do that. I think he's probably staying there, barring something unforeseen."

Asked about Jackson Holliday's All-Star case, Tony Mansolino talked bigger picture. "When I look at Jackson, I'm not concerned about the All-Star thing right now. It's like, 'How do we get this kid to be 1 of the top 5 players in the game by 2027?' That's how I look at Jackson."

Trevor Rogers on turnaround from '24 to '25: "The Orioles did an unbelievable job as far as the plan in place. Obviously, I didn’t understand the plan at the time when getting sent down, but I think we had a long-term plan here, and I think it’s finally coming to fruition."

Orioles win 6-0! The Trevor Rogers Parade saves the bullpen! Jackson Holliday 3-for-5, one run scored, four RBI! Middle game of three tomorrow night. #Birdland #LetsGoOs www.mlb.com/gameday/rang...
