Make it six losses in a row. Zach Eflin turned in a rare poor start and the Orioles suffered yet another blowout loss. This time it was a 10-4 defeat at the hands of the visiting Nationals to clinch a second straight series sweep.
This was your standard 2025 Orioles loss. The starting pitcher was bad. The offense relied almost entirely on home runs to score. And the team lost by a lot. Not a playoff formula, eh?
One unique part of this loss was the specific pitcher that struggled. Zach Eflin has been one of the few sure things on the Orioles pitching staff dating back to last July.
