CLEVELAND—Four new Orioles reported to the team on Thursday, and left-hander Trevor Rogers had a difficult debut.
Rogers, who was acquired from Miami on Tuesday for infielder Connor Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers, allowed five runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings as the Orioles lost to the Cleveland Guardians, 10-3, before 26,194 at Progressive Field.
Rogers (2-10) allowed his most runs since May 4th, striking out three and walking three.
The Orioles (65-45) are tied with the New York Yankees for first place in the American League East.
Rogers gave up two runs in the first on a sacrifice fly by José Ramirez and an RBI single by Josh Naylor.
David Fry hit a three-run home run, his ninth, in the third to give Cleveland (66-42) a 5-1 lead.
The Guardians, who have the best record in baseball, added five runs in the seventh against Albert Suárez and Jacob Webb. Ramírez hit a two-run home run and Bo Naylor a three-run homer.
Cleveland starter Ben Lively (10-6) allowed two runs on four hits in six innings.
Colton Cowser, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games, led off the game with a double and scored on Gunnar Henderson’s double.
Anthony Santander hit his 32nd home run in the fourth.
Jackson Holliday scored the Orioles’ third run in the eighth when he was hit by a pitch and moved to third on pinch-hitter Austin Slater’s single in his first at-bat with the Orioles and scored when Adley Rutschman reached on an error.
