The Orioles are a team on the upswing, rattling off an eight-game winning streak — and counting — to pull within a game of .500 as the All-Star break approaches.
For the fifth straight season, though, they’ll have only one representative in the All-Star Game.
Closer Jorge López was selected this afternoon as a reserve for the American League All-Star team, a well-earned reward for the right-hander’s breakout 2022 season. In his first year as a full-time reliever, López has posted a 1.74 ERA, a 0.968 WHIP, and 10.2 K/9 while converting 16 of 20 save attempts.
