## Resource

Baltimore drops a tough one, 4-3, to the Athletics as the Orioles’ offense can’t quite back up Adley Rutschman’s and Pete Alonso’s home runs. On this Orioles Postcast, Luke Slabaugh breaks down how a flat, intentionless defensive night and a decisive three-run fifth inning cost the O’s the game, and why Baltimore continues to struggle against left-handed pitching.
