ORIOLES ARE STILL UNABLE TO CRACK A 4-GAME WINNING STREAK THIS SEASON

The Baltimore Orioles lost 3-2 to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, July 5, 2026, ending their season-high-tying three-game winning streak.
Key takeaways from the article include:
The Four-Game Hurdle: This loss marked the seventh time this season that Baltimore (42-49) failed to extend a three-game winning streak to four games.
Strong Pitching and Defense: Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish threw a quality start, pitching into the eighth inning and allowing only three runs, while the defense played a crisp, error-free game.
Struggling Offense: Baltimore's bats remained quiet against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo, leaving the bases loaded in the sixth inning and falling short during a late ninth-inning rally. The team has scored four or fewer runs in seven of its last nine games.
Looking Ahead: With six games left before the All-Star break, the Orioles are guaranteed to enter the second half of the season with a sub-.500 record. Following an off-day, they return home for a six-game stretch against the Cubs and Royals to try and stay relevant in the AL Wild Card race ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.
