For the first time in 2026, the Orioles head out on the road, but they don’t have to go too far. They will begin the six-game trip with a weekend in Pittsburgh.
And let’s not forget about old friend Ryan O’Hearn. The O’s dealt him to the Padres at last year’s deadline, and then he inked a two-year deal with the Pirates in January. So far it looks like a good bit of business. He owns a .421/.522/.737 slash line through five games, and has already gone deep twice.
Kyle Bradish is on the bump for the Birds. His first start of the year was OK. He threw 83 pitches over 4.2 innings, struggling with his control quite a bit. His fastball velocity also seemed to be down. The sinker was averaging 93.5 mph against the Twins. He’s usually closer to 95 (94.7 mph in 2025). Hopefully that is just some early-season rust.
