2019 Baltimore Orioles season

The 2019 Baltimore Orioles season was the 119th season in Baltimore Orioles franchise history, 66th in Baltimore, and the 28th at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles were managed by Brandon Hyde in his first season as Orioles manager. They finished 54–108, 7 games better than their disastrous 47–115 record from their 2018 season, but they missed the playoffs for a third straight season, as they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on August 23.

The season set several statistical records and quirks. The Orioles finished last in the AL East for a third consecutive season. The Orioles set a franchise record of a combined 101–223 over the previous two seasons, the worst two-season span in franchise history. The 2019 Orioles became the first team in history to yield 300+ home runs in a season, a new MLB record. The pitching staff also allowed 981 runs throughout the season - an abysmal mark that led all of MLB and was the worst in MLB history since the 1999 Colorado Rockies allowed 1028 runs. They were also the first team since the 1979 Blue Jays to lose 107 or more games and not earn the first overall pick in the subsequent year's draft,Trezza, Joe. "O's find silver lining in loss: No. 2 Draft pick," MLB.com, Wednesday, September 25, 2019. Retrieved September 26, 2019 as the Detroit Tigers finished 47–114, 6 1/2 games worse than Baltimore.

Despite the team's atrocious overall performance, one highlight of the 2019 season was back-to-back 13–0 victories over the Cleveland Indians on June 28–29. The Orioles were the first team in major league history to record back-to-back shutout victories by a margin of 13 or more runs.Ruiz, Nathan. "Orioles repeat with history-making 13-0 win over Indians to claim first series in two months", baltimoresun.com, Sunday, June 30, 2019 Another highlight was the Orioles hitting multiple home runs in each of 10 consecutive games between July 17 and July 27, the most in MLB since 1901.
