BALTIMORE (AP) The Orioles spent much of the day bolstering their pitching staff then showed why it needed help. Craig Kimbrel allowed a two-run homer in the ninth inning by Jurickson Profar, and the San Diego Padres beat Baltimore 6-4 on Friday night. Earlier in the day, the Orioles acquired reliever Seranthony Domnguez and outfielder Cristian Pache in Greg Allen Jersey a trade with Philadelphia, then obtained right-handed starter Zach Eflin from Tampa Bay. Zachs somebody weve seen a lot and Ive heard unbelievable things about him. Postseason tested, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. "Hes a true profe sional. Everybody talks about how great of a guy he is and what he can bring to the clubhouse and our pitching staff, and were looking for pitching and its nice to add a quality starter like Zach.

The 30-year-old Eflin is 5-7 with a 4.09 ERA. Baltimore's bullpen has also been shaky at times. Kimbrel had blown saves in two of his previous three appearances, then came on in a tie game Friday and allowed the decisive homer. Balls are kind of thigh high, middle part of the plate, Hyde said. He gets ahead of Profar with a base open and then just leaves one in the middle part of the plate. Thats what hes done the past few days. Domnguez made his Orioles debut with a scorele s eighth, although he allowed two hits. Baltimore not only could use help in the rotation this year, but also in 2025 because of those injuries and ace Corbin Burnes' eligibility for free agency.
