Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Baltimore, Maryland, competing in the American League East. Founded in 1901 as the Milwaukee Brewers, the club moved to St. Louis as the Browns before becoming the Orioles in 1954. The Orioles have captured three World Series titles (1966, 1970, 1983) and seven American League pennants, producing Hall of Famers such as Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray, and Jim Palmer. Recent seasons have focused on rebuilding around young stars like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman. Since 1992 the team has called Oriole Park at Camden Yards its home, a fan‑friendly ballpark celebrated for its brick façade and classic feel. The Orioles remain a storied franchise with a passionate fan base and a clear vision for returning to contention.

Entering the 2026 campaign, the Orioles are fighting to climb out of the AL East’s lower tier. After a 15‑22 start, they sit near the bottom of the division and are looking to improve their run differential. A recent three‑game series against the New York Yankees (May 4) split the games, showcasing Gunnar Henderson’s breakout power but exposing inconsistencies in the starting rotation. Manager Brandon Hyde continues to prioritize player development while the club seeks to string together wins and move up the standings.
