The Orioles’ offense is in freefall, getting shut out for the second straight night by the Red Sox in a 5-0 rout that marks their fifth loss in a row. Chris Bassitt was pulled after giving up a bloop single that scored two runs, and Rico Garcia couldn’t stem the tide, allowing another run before the Red Sox added two more in the seventh. The Orioles had a late rally chance in the eighth with bases loaded and two outs, but Pete Alonso struck out to end it. With just 12 runs scored in five games and zero for eight with runners in scoring position, the team’s struggles are alarming — especially with Jackson Holliday going hitless with three Ks leadoff. Even a potential home run by Samuel Basallo fell short at Camden Yards. Despite being just three games back in the wild card race thanks to the Blue Jays’ win and Guardians’ loss, the offense’s collapse makes optimism feel impossible as the deadline looms.
