After a disappointing series in Miami with a thrilling ending, the Orioles return home to face another team from the Senior Circuit—the San Diego Padres. This will be the first time the Orioles welcome Manny Machado and the Padres to Camden Yards since 2019—Manny’s first season with the Friars. The last time the Padres made the trip out East, they were a franchise on the rise while the Orioles were just beginning their descent into rebuilding. Now the shoes are somewhat on the other feet—with the Orioles the rising contender and the Padres in a bit of a No Man’s Land.
