The Baltimore Orioles entered the 2024 MLB postseason with renewed optimism after a strong finish to the regular season. However, their hopes were dashed in the Wild Card Round against the Kansas City Royals, where they suffered a disappointing sweep, losing both games 1-0 and 2-1.
Despite the team's offensive struggles, a few players stood out. Corbin Burnes, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers, delivered an impressive performance in Game 1, pitching eight innings with only one run allowed. Cedric Mullins provided the only offensive highlight, hitting a homer and finishing the series with multiple hits. Seranthony Dominguez also shined in relief, contributing effectively from the bullpen.
