Recap
Baltimore enters the stretch 1.5 games back of a wild card spot after a 15-8 July.
The Orioles said they remain open-minded about buying or selling ahead of the August deadline, per reporting on their July performance. Baltimore went 15-8 last month to improve to 54-56 overall, sitting 1.5 games behind the final AL wild card slot.
The team is 10.5 games back of first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East. With September call-ups and the playoff hunt intensifying, the Orioles' deadline stance will hinge on how the next week shapes their position relative to the wild card line.
