Orioles Struggle with Losing Streak, Two Players Advance in All-Star Voting

The 2025 Baltimore Orioles continue to struggle with inconsistency, alternating between impressive victories, such as their 22-8 comeback win against the Rays, and dismal losses, including multiple games where they gave up 10 or more runs. Despite their poor overall record and standing at the bottom of the AL East, the team features promising talent with two players, Ryan O’Hearn and Jackson Holliday, advancing to the final phase of the All-Star Game voting, signaling individual bright spots amidst team struggles. O’Hearn is having a career-best season and is favored to secure his first All-Star selection, while Holliday, improving significantly in his second MLB season, remains a hopeful albeit long-shot candidate. The Orioles’ pitching and offense have shown flashes of potential, with pitchers like Dean Kremer delivering dominant performances and the offense managing to manufacture runs even without home runs in key moments. Nevertheless, the team’s inability to maintain momentum and their lengthy injury list dampen postseason hopes. Fans are left oscillating between optimism when the Orioles display their talent and frustration when they revert to poor performances.
