Trouble unfolded for the Orioles during the third inning against the Miami Marlins when both second baseman Jorge Mateo and pitcher Albert Suárez exited the game due to injuries on consecutive plays.
Mateo collided with shortstop Gunnar Henderson, injuring his left elbow, and was promptly replaced by Jordan Westburg at second base. Initial X-rays were negative, but further tests are ongoing. Soon after, a line drive hit Suárez’s right foot and forced him out of the game with a shin contusion; his X-rays also came back negative.
Despite early efforts by the Orioles, including an RBI single by Jordan Westburg and hits by Ryan O’Hearn and Colton Cowser, the Marlins’ aggressive offense and solid bullpen performance kept them ahead, sealing a 6-3 win. This loss brought Baltimore’s record to 60-40, though they still maintain a slim lead in the AL East.
