    Jarred Kelenic went 3-for-4 with a run scored against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: After slugging a homer in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals, Kelenic collected three more hits in the second game.

  • Ryan Helsley locks down 28th save Wednesday
    Ryan Helsley tossed a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout to earn the save in the second game of a doubleheader against the Braves on Wednesday.

  • Matthew Liberatore strikes out eight vs. Braves
    Matthew Liberatore tossed six shutout innings with eight strikeouts in a win over the Braves on Wednesday.

    Advice: Starting the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, Liberatore was dominant against the Braves, keeping them scoreless over a season-high six innings. He scattered two hits and a walk, striking out a career-high eight batters on 14 swinging strikes. The 24-year-old left-hander ends the day with a 3.86 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 36/16 K/BB ratio across 44 1/3 innings. He’ll likely revert back to a swingman role if he hasn’t earned himself another start in the rotation. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago

  • Grayson Rodriguez goes seven strong in win
    Grayson Rodriguez allowed two runs across seven innings in a 4-2 win over the Guardians. He struck out four without walking a batter.

    Advice: Rodriguez’s changeup was especially lethal in this one: dropping three inches more than his season average and forcing five swings and misses. He ended his day on a beautiful one low and out of the zone to Brayan Rocchio that got him through seven innings for the second time in three starts. It was also very encouraging to see him shake off a poor first few innings and get stronger as the game went on. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Craig Kimbrel earns 17th save
    Craig Kimbrel struck out the side and walked one batter on Wednesday to nail down the save against the Guardians.

    Advice: Kimbrel continues to drink from the fountain of youth. His 17th save to break the Orioles losing streak and he has his highest strikeout rate since 2021. He is locked in as the closer in Baltimore. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Gunnar Henderson smashes 26th home run
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Wednesday against the Guardians.

    Advice: This man is a revelation. He drove in the Orioles’ only runs until the seventh inning in this game. His 26 home runs trail only Aaron Judge. He joined Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Juan Soto as the only players with an OPS over 1.000. He also has 13 stolen bases, 70 runs scored, and 57 RBI while playing elite shortstop defense. This is the definition of a superstar and potential face of the league. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
