How to Watch Orioles vs CubsDate: Saturday, August 2, 2025Time: 2:20 PM ETChannel: FS1, FOX DeportesStream: Fubo (WATCH NOW)

The Cubs took the series opener over the Orioles in a 1-0 ball game with the only run coming via an Ian Happ sacrifice fly in the second inning. Baltimore will look to bounce back, but their season has not gone the way they may have expected as they currently sit 13.5 games back in the AL East.

Pete Crow-Armstrong has continued to make a case as an MVP candidate but has not homered in six straight games. If he wants to catch the likes of Shohei Ohtani, he will have to get back to hitting the long ball. Crow-Armstrong has 27 home runs and 29 stolen bases on the season.

Jackson Holliday has been one of the lone bright spots for Baltimore as the second-year player has displayed that he can hit for power at the Major League level with 14 home runs this season.

This is a great MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
