Challenges Ahead Against Orioles


As the Reds prepare to face the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, they will need to address their pitching inconsistencies. The bullpen's performance has fluctuated significantly; while it showed promise in certain innings, it also allowed crucial runs that tipped games in favor of opponents.

Oriole Park is known for its hitter-friendly dimensions which could benefit both teams’ offenses. The Reds will aim to capitalize on this by leveraging their power hitters who can exploit these conditions effectively.
