Diamondbacks defeat Orioles 9-0, deepen Baltimore's slump

The Baltimore Orioles faced a disappointing series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, concluding with a 9-0 loss that marked their most lopsided defeat of the season. Despite the early season, the Orioles are struggling and now sit three games below .500, with concerns about their pitching staff exacerbated by injuries. Starting pitcher Zach Eflin has been placed on the injured list, leaving a rotation that has been largely underperforming, particularly Dean Kremer, whose ERA has surged to 8.16. Conversely, the Diamondbacks, led by players like Corbin Carroll, have shown stronger performances, seeking to secure their second series win of the season. The matchup highlights both teams' struggles and potential, with the Orioles needing to find consistency quickly. As the season progresses, Baltimore's ability to recover and improve will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
