When it rains, it pours.
In the first inning of a 5-1 defeat to the Chicago White Sox to provide their second 10-game losing streak in three years, the Baltimore Orioles lost their best offensive producer.
After a 20-minute rain delay Thursday at Chicago’s Guaranteed Rate Field and a leadoff single from Cedric Mullins, Trey Mancini was hit in his right elbow by a 95-mph fastball from Chicago starter Dylan Cease. Baltimore’s first baseman immediately collapsed in the batter’s box and was checked by the team’s training staff.
He initially stayed in the game as Cease retired the next three batters in a scoreless top of the first, but Pat Valaika replaced him in the field for the bottom half. The team announced later in the game that Mancini suffered a bruise on the elbow, but initial X-rays and exam were negative for any breaks.
Mancini entered one back of the major league RBI lead with 42, and leads the club in home runs.
Without him, the Orioles (17-33) managed little against Cease, who struck out 10 in six innings and held Baltimore hitless in eight at-bats with a runner in scoring position. Freddy Galvis’s seventh home run tied the score in the fourth, but was Baltimore’s lone run as the offense and bullpen failed to back a strong start from rookie Bruce Zimmermann.
The Orioles struck out 16 times. The 10-game losing streak is the club’s longest since a 10-game skid from June 12-21 in 2019.
