The swing and the sound were vintage Tyler O’Neill. A positive perfect storm creating a loud clap of thunder and putting more runs on the scoreboard. This is the version of Tyler O’Neill that the Orioles anticipated for the 2025 season and perhaps beyond, depending on the opt-out clause in his three-year, $49.5 million free-agent contract.

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Returned 27th man RHP Brandon Young to Double-A Chesapeake after today’s doubleheader.
