ANAHEIM, California—The Orioles had a two-run lead heading into the ninth inning. If reliever Mychal Givens could work efficiently, he wouldn’t have to face Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Instead, Givens walked Matt Thaiss with one out, and rookie shortstop Richie Martin failed to get an out on Luis Rengifo’s grounder. Thaiss...

Even after Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Orioles are still four games ahead of last year’s pace. At 32-69, the Orioles are heading for more than 100 losses again. It would take a 31-30 record over the season’s final 61 games to avoid the franchise’s first consecutive 100-loss season....
The trade deadline is a week away. By July 31 at 4 p.m., we’ll have a better idea of what the Orioles will look like for the rest of 2019, and for 2020. While some fans were disappointed that the Orioles didn’t get players closer to major-league ready when they traded Andrew...
