CLEVELAND, OH - APRIL 17: Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jeremiah Jackson (82) rounds the bases after hitting a 3-run home run during the eighth inning of the Major League Baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Guardians on April 17, 2026, at Progressive Field in Cleveland, OH.

The were no-hit through eight innings on Thursday, but rallied late and got the tying run on base before dropping the opener. On Friday, they would be shutout for seven innings before erupting for six runs in the eighth, which would prove enough to win the game 6-4 and even up the series. Jeremiah Jackson came through with yet another clutch home run, a three-run shot. He now leads the team with 17 RBI on the season. Who had that on their 2026 Orioles bingo card? Probably a few more people than those that expected \checks notes\…Weston Wilson and Jonathan Rodríguez (?) to contribute to any wins at all. At 10-10, these Orioles aren’t going to be confused for some sort of juggernaut. And if they are going to turn into a true contender, there are plenty of improvements to be made. But considering the context of their current performance, I’m actually encouraged. The offense is currently surviving on the backs of Jackson and . At some point, and are going to find some consistency. will eventually homer, probably a bunch. is too talented to keep hitting .148. is going to get healthy. Maybe those things don’t all happen at once, but they will happen, and when they do the offense is going to be tougher to handle. So what does success look like for the Orioles right now? Having a .500 record feels fine to me. Keep their head above water and buy time for those positive regressions to come. This was never a 100-win roster anyway. It’s an 85-ish win roster with upside, especially if they add at the trade deadline. Staying close to that pacing while you are missing several key pieces is a win. The vibes are good for this squad. Wins like last night only add to that and inch them ever closer to healthier and better days for the roster. **Links** It sounds like Rutschman will be back within the week, although he may need a brief minor league rehab. is back on his rehab this weekend. The future is less clear for Tyler O’Neill, who is still dealing with concussion symptoms. This is a fun one! rocks a glove with the initials of someone else’s wife and kids on it because it’s literally not his glove. Amazing. Also, this article should have been called “A Glove Story.” Lots of roster questions. They are valid! But also, they feel like questions for another day. How do the Orioles make space for X player when they return? That answer is going to change depending on who is healthy at the time. Holliday could be fit right when another infielder picks up a nick. The Oriole would probably prefer to just get everyone healthy. That is probably an unrealistic hope. **Orioles birthdays** Is it your birthday? Happy birthday!
