Dean Kremer had a rough outing for the Orioles, allowing seven runs against the Cubs in his second start since returning from the IL, with multiple home runs being a persistent issue for him at home games. Jordan Westburg hit a solo home run, but the Orioles lost 9-2 to the Cubs in their first game back at Camden Yards after a West Coast trip. The Cubs' Jameson Taillon pitched effectively, allowing only two runs over six innings, leading Chicago to victory and extending their winning streak against the Orioles. Despite Kremer's struggles and the Orioles' loss, Westburg's All-Star selection and the team's league-leading 147 home runs were notable highlights.
