The minor league season has kicked into high gear, as the Orioles’ three non-Norfolk affiliates each played their first full, six-game series this week. And while there are still a few significant prospects who haven’t yet played due to injuries — looking at you, Adley Rutschman and D.L. Hall — there’s been no shortage of standout performances by those who have. Here’s our weekly roundup of Orioles minor league action.
Triple-A Norfolk Tides
- This week: 5-1 at Scranton Wilkes/Barre RailRiders (Yankees)
- Next: vs. Durham Bulls (4-8, Rays)
- Season record: 8-4, second place (1 GB) in International League East
At 8-4, the Tides matched their best start to a season since they became an Orioles affiliate in 2007, and it came on the strength of a near-sweep of the Yankees’ Triple-A club.
