Heartbreaking Loss for the A's Against the Orioles 
Well, fellow A's fans, it’s another tough day for us. The Orioles took the game with a final score of 3-2, despite some flashes of brilliance from our lineup. Let’s break down the action.Early Action 
The Orioles got on the board early thanks to a miscue by our catcher Shea Langeliers that allowed Gunnar Henderson to score. But our boys responded quickly! Miguel Andujar crushed a homer to left, tying it up 1-1 in the bottom of the 1st inning. What a shot! 
Struggles in the 2nd Inning 
The 2nd inning saw some trouble for us. Jordan Westburg and Austin Hays combined to put the Orioles up by two runs, taking advantage of a couple of errors. Zack Gelof did his best to start a rally in our half of the inning, but we couldn’t capitalize on his spectacular base-running.Pitching Settles Down 
Our pitching calmed down after the second inning. Hogan Harris, Ferguson, and the rest of the bullpen did a good job of keeping things in check. Meanwhile, our offense struggled to find any rhythm against the Orioles' pitching crew.Langeliers Shines Bright 
Shea Langeliers made up for his early error with a tremendous solo shot to center in the 7th inning! That pulled us within one, making it 3-2. Shea's really starting to come into his own, isn't he? 
Missed Opportunities 
We had our chances, folks. Max Schuemann reached on an infield single and stole second in the 8th inning, putting the tying run 90 feet away. But we couldn’t bring him home. And in the 9th, Soderstrom, Langeliers, and Gelof couldn’t get on base to keep our hopes alive.On to the Next One 
Despite the loss, the resilience this team shows is something to be proud of. Keep your heads up, A’s fans! There were moments today that prove we're heading in the right direction. Let's rally behind our team and hope for a better outcome in the next game. Go A's!
