The Twins beat the Orioles 4-0 Thursday afternoon to extend their winning streak to eleven games, and bury Baltimore at the bottom of the AL East. The Orioles own a 15-27 record 9 1/2 games behind the first place Yankees.

At this point in 2024, the Orioles stood 28-14, one game back in the AL East. It appears they reversed the power polarity. Through 42 games in 2024, they allowed 42 home runs while hitting 65. This season, with the two they allowed to the Twins today, they gave up 65 while hitting just 49.

On offense, blame Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman. The two combined for 22 home runs at this point in 2024, just ten this season. That’s twelve of the 16 HR drop. Those two are supposed to be the stars of the team, but neither is hitting like it in 2025.
