ORIOLES POSTCAST: Baltimore Orioles Waste Trevor Rogers' Quality Start in Brutal 5-2 Loss to Padres

The Orioles had several chances to win this one, and let it slip away. Luke Slabaugh breaks down a frustrating 5-2 loss to the Padres as Baltimore wastes a much-needed quality start from left-hander Trevor Rogers, who battled through six innings and deserved better. A brutal bounce in the 2nd inning—an RBI double from rookie Rodolfo Duran that kicked off the second base bag—set the tone for a day where nothing seemed to go the O’s way. Offensively, it’s the same story of late: missed chances. Baltimore goes just 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, failing to back up strong pitching yet again. The lone spark? Jeremiah Jackson, in his first start since May 30, launching a solo homer off Walker Buehler. Now sitting 5 games under .500, where do the Orioles go from here? This isn’t just a recap. We’re diving into what this game means, what’s trending in the wrong direction, and what has to change immediately. If you’re frustrated, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.
