Orioles' Comeback Magic Faces Struggling Phillies
31 Jul
Summary
- Philadelphia Phillies lost eight of their last ten games.
- Baltimore Orioles staged a 10-9 comeback victory in 12 innings.
- Orioles pitcher Brandon Young has a 3.13 ERA in 8-2 record.
The Philadelphia Phillies, with a record of 57-52, are visiting Camden Yards to begin a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles (53-56) on July 31, 2026. Philadelphia has been in a slump, losing three consecutive games and eight of their last ten, which has extended their deficit in the division to seven games and narrowed their lead for the final Wild Card spot to just two games.
Meanwhile, the Orioles are also vying for a playoff spot, trailing Cleveland by 2.5 games for the last Wild Card position. Baltimore enters this series with significant momentum after an impressive 10-9 comeback victory in 12 innings against Detroit on Wednesday, where they rallied from a 7-0 deficit. The Phillies, on the other hand, are reeling after being swept by the Marlins, with two of those games featuring late-inning leads that slipped away.
The Orioles are set to start pitcher Brandon Young (8-2, 3.13 ERA) for the series opener. Young has been in excellent form, allowing only single runs in his last two starts against Atlanta and Houston. The Phillies' starting pitcher for the game had not yet been determined as of the publication of this preview.
