The Orioles clobbered four home runs in the first two innings but couldn’t hold on in a rain-soaked loss to the Rockies on Friday.

The Mets are acquiring Orioles left-handed reliever Gregory Soto, according to multiple reports on July 25. The Mets are sending pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster to the Orioles in the deal, according to Andy Martino of SNY.

The Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies played through rain for about two innings Friday night even after fans were told to evacuate open areas of the seating bowl because of potential lightning in the area.

Closer Seth Halvorsen handled the ninth, facing three batters and retiring them in order. And with that, the Rockies have won three straight games. Say what you want about the 2025 Colorado Rockies, but they have heart. The Orioles are now 45-56 while the Rockies move to 27-76.

Kremer lost the lead in the fifth inning. He allowed three straight batters to reach base, which resulted in two runs. He walked Moniak, who came in to score on a double by Hunter Goodman. Then Goodman scored on a single from Jordan Beck. After being given a 4-0 lead in the second inning, Kremer steadily allowed five unanswered runs to score.

Ezequiel Tovar hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the top of the eighth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Friday night to improve to 5-2 since the All-Star break.

To honor this year’s National Baseball Hall of Fame induction weekend across MLB, the Orioles will wear retro-style caps.
