The Baltimore Orioles are having success against the AL East

The Baltimore Orioles did lose to the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, but overall they are 14-9 against the AL East this season. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down why that success is so important, and talks about what the O's need to do for the rest of the season.

But first, Connor recaps the Orioles 7-2 loss to the Rays on Wednesday afternoon and gives you the five things you need to know from the game, including Jorge Mateo's continued struggles, Cole Irvin pitching in relief, and Gunnar Henderson going deep again.

Finally, Connor runs through the promotions that were made in the Orioles minor league system this week, as players like César Prieto, Jud Fabian, and Jean Pinto were moved up a level.
