A former Baltimore Orioles signing who played just a brief stint with the team last year has announced his decision to retire. According to an announcement on his social media, nine-year Major League Baseball veteran Tony Kemp is retiring from the game after last appearing in the big leagues in 2024 with Baltimore.

The Orioles were swept by the Twins for the second time in the past week and are on pace to lose 104 games after falling to 15-27.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa and center fielder Byron Buxton exited a game against Baltimore after colliding in the third inning.

As shared by Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun, the Orioles are riding a uniquely poor losing streak because of a pitching staff that cannot limit runs and an offense that cannot produce them consistently.

After being swept by the Minnesota Twins in a doubleheader Wednesday, the Orioles (15-26) are a season-low 11 games under .500 and sporting the worst run differential in the American League at minus-70. It’s a disastrous start for a team that added seven MLB free agents for a combined $105.25 million last winter to contend for a World Series title.

DaShawn Keirsey Jr. and Byron Buxton hit back-to-back home runs and Chris Paddack pitched seven shutout innings, but the Minnesota Twins' 11th consecutive victory was soured by a collision among teammates when they beat the host Baltimore Orioles 4-0 on Thursday afternoon.

The Minnesota Twins (23-20) and Baltimore Orioles (15-26) meet Thursday to wrap up a 3-game series. The first offering from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 12:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network).
