## Resource

he Orioles offense had no answers AGAIN for Matthew Boyd. Boyd dominated Baltimore with 6 shutout innings at Camden Yards, continuing a pattern after blanking them for 7 innings at Wrigley in 2025. Pair that with back-to-back Cubs shutouts in Baltimore in 2024, and this matchup is starting to feel one-sided. Adley Rutschman came through with a clutch 2-out, 2-run single to get the Orioles on the board, but overall it wasn’t enough. Baltimore finished just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position — and that tells the story. Shane Baz got electric results early, retiring the first 8 Cubs on just 23 pitches before running into trouble. Alex Bregman and Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered key RBIs, and defensive lapses from the Orioles outfield didn’t help. Dylan Beavers misplayed a fly ball that turned into a leadoff double, and a no-throw sac fly to Taylor Ward allowed another easy run. Anthony Nunez also allowed two runs in relief as the game slipped further away late. We break down: Why Matthew Boyd continues to dominate this lineup The Orioles’ ongoing RISP struggles Baz’s dominant start and what changed Defensive mistakes that cost runs What this loss means moving forward If you felt this one slipping early, you weren’t alone — let’s talk about it.
