Another reason to think that Coby Mayo’s stay with the Orioles will be short. Rivera was quite fortunate today, picking up his hits on balls in play with xBAs of .330, .260 and .140 (he struck out in his other at-bat). Mayo was used as a DH with Rivera at third and hit balls 109.3 and 106.5 mph, but he had only one single to show for it.

Kremer had eight strikeouts, topping his previous season high by two. He’s lowered his ERA from 7.04 to 5.24 with his last two starts. It’s an obvious improvement, but still not a great figure for someone who has had one of the game’s easiest schedules. He’ll face the Twins again next time out.

The Orioles will probably send down Dylan Carlson to make room for Tyler O’Neill this weekend, but perhaps there’s a chance Kjerstad will be the move instead. With his .213/.250/.340 line in 100 plate appearances, he’s been worth negative WAR so far. Statcast thinks he’s been pretty unlucky, but even if he had better numbers on contact, his 31/2 K/BB ratio would still be hideous.

It was assumed that Eflin would be back this weekend, but now we have a concrete date. The 31-year-old may not be at full strength after throwing fewer than 60 pitches in his rehab start, but the Orioles feel confident enough to have the right-hander back on the bump for the series finale against the Angels.

Torkelson smacked a two-out RBI single off of Kyle Freeland in the opening inning that extended the Tigers’ early lead to 2-0. He then got the Rockies’ left-hander for a two-out two-run double the following inning that made it a 7-0 ballgame. With his two-hit attack, the 25-year-old slugger is now slashing .241/.348/.541 with 10 homers and 31 RBI on the season.

They had only half as many as the Orioles, but the Twins made their hits count, getting a solo homer from Trevor Larnach in the sixth. They then strung a double and a single after a pair of walks got things going during their three-run eighth inning. France went 6-for-11 in the three games against the Orioles after going hitless in the previous series in Boston. He’s batting .277/.346/.401 with three homers and 21 RBI through 38 games.

Kopech will work an inning as an opener in his first outing back. The 29-year-old is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list at the end of May, so there’s a decent chance he’ll be ready to help the Los Angeles bullpen for the first time in 2025 right around that timeframe.
