Orioles put an end to Bobby Witt's 22-game hitting streak, win 3-0
- On Friday evening in Baltimore, the Orioles shut out the Royals 3-0, halting Bobby Witt Jr.'s hitting streak at 22 games.
- The Orioles, who were in last place, relied on strong pitching and a key homer by Ryan O'Hearn to secure their first shutout of the season.
- Dean Kremer pitched seven shutout innings allowing three hits, while O'Hearn hit a two-run homer to left-center field and Emmanuel Rivera added an RBI single.
- Kremer improved to a 3-4 record, Félix Bautista earned his sixth save, and O'Hearn hit his sixth homer of the year after being traded from Kansas City before 2023.
- The Orioles secured consecutive victories for just the second time this season, bringing their record to 2-16 when scoring three runs or fewer, which suggests some modest improvement.
