Tony Mansolino said a month ago that prospects like Samuel Basallo have to “knock down the door” in order to start the MLB promotion conversation. Since those comments, Basallo has hit .327 with a 1.178 OPS and more walks (12) than strikeouts (10). baltimoresun.com/2025/07/26/ori…
This Orioles lineup with their nine regular starters will attempt to not lose a series against the Colorado Rockies tonight
Tony Mansolino on when the Orioles could promote Samuel Basallo: “There’s a plan in place for him right now. Mike [Elias] is thinking about him every day. … We talked earlier in the year about knocking the door down. It feels like he’s starting to do that in a lot of ways.”
Jeremiah Jackson optioned back to Triple-A after one game on roster. Yaramil Hiraldo era is back on.
We have made the following roster moves:
Samuel Basallo’s numbers in Triple-A this season after he went 5-for-5 last night: .282 BA .395 OBP .624 SLG 1.020 OPS His career OPS at Triple-A (.918) is higher than every top Orioles prospect who came before him: Adley, Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser, Kjerstad, Holliday and Mayo.
Ushers at Oriole Park temporarily forced fans in the lower bowl to take cover from lightning in the area. But Friday's game was not delayed. bit.ly/3ILaSB2
Tony Mansolino on a Rockies offense that came back from down 4-0 to beat the Orioles: "You look up on the board, you got guys with good numbers. It's a good hitting team, and they hung in there. You have to give them a lot of credit, too."
Tony Mansolino on the Orioles’ loss: “That’s a bitter one right there. … We have to add more runs. We had a couple spots where we could have, but we didn’t get it done, unfortunately, tonight.”
The Orioles lose 6-5 to the Rockies. The Rockies are 1-0 against the Orioles this season. They're 26-76 against all other teams. Baltimore is 45-58.
Fans who were temporarily moved from their seats (for about 2 innings) because of the lightning strikes will not be issued refunds, per an Orioles spokesperson.
The Orioles are bringing back the rebuild tonight

The Orioles are clearing the seating bowl here at Camden Yards because of thunder and lightning in the area but are continuing to play on down on the field. No rainfall as of yet.

After Adley Rutschman reached on an infield single, he scored on Samuel Basallo's second double of the night!
The Rockies have now allowed 4+ home runs in a game seven times this season, tying... the Orioles for the second most in MLB. (Athletics, 12)
Coby Mayo since June 14: .260 BA .339 OBP .460 SLG .799 OPS Maybe he's starting to figure this thing out a little bit, and maybe the Orioles are finally committed to playing him.

If the Orioles (45-57, nine games out of a playoff spot) played the Rockies every game for the rest of the season, would they make the playoffs?
Tyler O’Neill has more extra-base hits over his past five games (three) than he did between April 6 and July 18 (two).
Tyler O'Neill home run. His OPS is over .600 now. Orioles lead 2-0.
