Cameron (2-4) took the loss after throwing four innings, allowing five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Cameron allowed just three hits, but he struggled through his shortest start of the campaign. It was a rare blip in an otherwise great season for the 25-year-old, who allowed two runs or fewer in all but one of his starts entering Friday's game. Despite the rough start, his ERA is still a highly respectable 2.78 through 51.2 innings on the season. He is set to face the Mariners on the road in his next start.

Pepiot didn't factor into Friday's decision against the Orioles, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter across 1.2 innings.

Pepiot induced three groundball outs in the first frame and was gifted a six-run lead by the Rays heading into the second. However, Pepiot ended up yielding a two-run double and two-run single. He was lifted after giving up another single and finished his outing with just five outs recorded, tossing 48 pitches (30 strikes). It was the first time in his major-league career that he failed to make it out of the second inning. Pepiot will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Athletics.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a two-run single, a steal and three runs scored in Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays.

Urias replaced Jordan Westburg in the second inning after the latter aggravated a left index finger injury while sliding into second base. Urias took advantage of the opportunity, smacking a two-run single in the same frame to cut the deficit to two runs before coming across to score three times, his most since May 5, 2024. Urias could be in line for some starts at the keystone if Westburg is sidelined.

Witt went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Friday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Witt's two-run home run clinched the 25-year-old's first multi-RBI outing in 15 games. At just over the halfway point of the season, the young shortstop is piecing together another good campaign, slashing .277/.332/.483 and driving in 42 on the season which puts him on pace for 84 on the year. Those numbers aren't quite at the same level as last regular season, when he put up a .977 OPS and 109 RBI.

Cowser went 3-for-4 with two walks, three doubles, two RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays.

Per Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun, the Orioles set a franchise record Friday with 14 extra-base hits, three of which came off the bat of Cowser. The 25-year-old outfielder also set a career high with four runs scored as he contributed to six of the Orioles' 22 runs in a blowout victory. Cowser has reached base safely in eight of his last nine games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-32 (.344) with five doubles, eight runs scored, three home runs and 10 RBI.

Mayo went 2-for-6 with a two-run double, a two-run home run and another run scored during Friday's 22-8 win over Tampa Bay.

Mayo finally hit his first major-league home run in the eighth, albeit off shortstop Jose Caballero, who yielded two homers and six runs in the frame. Per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Mayo is the sixth player since 2020 to hit the first home run of their MLB career off a position player and the first Orioles player to do so since the team moved to Baltimore in 1954. Mayo has three multi-hit games over his last eight starts, and over that span he has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with one home run and seven RBI.

Crawford went 3-for-6 with two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Texas.

Crawford tallied multiple hits for the 10th time in the month of June. The 30-year-old shortstop has led off for the Mariners consistently since the end of April, batting .286 with four home runs, eight doubles, 22 runs scored, 31 walks and four stolen bases across his last 196 at-bats (50 games).

Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and three runs scored during Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays.

Sanchez contributed to seven of the Orioles' 22 runs in Friday's blowout, including a two-run home run off Eric Orze in the fifth inning to give Baltimore a one-run lead. Sanchez tied a season high with four RBI and has recorded at least one hit in eight of 10 games since returning from the injured list in mid-June. He'll continue to serve as the Orioles' primary backstop until Adley Rutschman (oblique) returns from the IL, which isn't expected to happen until after the All-Star break.

Povich (hip) made a minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Povich was not sharp in his first rehab outing, but he was encouragingly able to throw 75 pitches. The Orioles have not yet announced whether the left-hander will require another appearance in the minors. Before going on the injured list with left hip inflammation, Povich logged a 5.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB across 64.2 frames (13 outings).

Mullins went 1-for-5 with three RBI, a run scored, a double and a walk in Friday's 22-8 victory over the Rays.

Mullins' three RBI were his most since a four-RBI effort back on May 14. The veteran outfielder has cooled off dramatically following an outstanding start to the year, which saw him bat .290 and slug .661 through April 19. Not only is Mullins hitting only .151 over 53 at-bats since coming off the injured list June 10, but he's also slashing a pitiful .186/.238/.331 with six home runs, seven doubles, 19 RBI and five stolen bases across his last 186 plate appearances (46 games).
