BALTIMORE -- In just 16 games, 2025 is already remarkably brighter for Gabriel Arias than last year. Arias eclipsed his home run total from 2024 (three) on Thursday, launching his fourth homer of the season to put the Guardians on the board in the top of the third inning of their 9-1 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards. What was supposed to be Arias’ second full season in the Majors last year ended up being just 53 big league games after he struggled to deliver.

BALTIMORE -- Toward the end of camp, the Guardians decided it wasn’t quite time for Angel Martínez in the big leagues this year. That changed, though, a little over a week into the season when Martínez was recalled on April 9 to deepen Cleveland’s bench after center fielder Lane Thomas was sidelined following being hit by a pitch on his right wrist the day prior. In the week since, Martínez has shown up and showed out, having gone 5-for-10 in his first three games of the year.

BALTIMORE -- If Jeff Hoffman had a nickel for every two-inning relief outing involving extra innings that earned him a win this season, he’d have 10 cents -- which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. Not only did it happen twice, though, but it happened twice in one road trip, in back-to-back outings. Perhaps the second of those instances, in which he secured the Blue Jays’ 7-6 win in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards, meant more, though.

BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays can breathe a big sigh of relief as they head back to Toronto, their nine-game, three-city road trip complete. What seemed like it may have been a devastating loss after George Springer exited early with a left wrist injury ended with a 7-6, 10-inning win on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards and negative X-rays for Springer.
