White Sox shortstop Colin Montgomery was up at the plate with runners on second and first and was issued a walk after Bradish’s pitch was inside. Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman threw the ball back to Bradish, who dropped it and lackadaisically followed it back to the mound. He realized Chase Meidroth was rounding third and heading for home.

Bradish fired the ball to Rutschman, but it was wide to his left. Meidroth scored on the play to give Chicago a 3-2 lead. Bradish was charged with two errors on the play. He struck out Andrew Benintendi to end the inning and was removed before the start of the sixth inning.

“Yeah, just frustration came out. Unacceptable,” Bradish told reporters after the game, via MLB.com. “That’s just childish behavior, and that will not happen again.”

The Orioles ended up winning the game, 5-3.

Bradish allowed three runs, two earned, and six hits in five innings of work. He struck out seven batters and walked three more, as the Orioles improved to 6-6 on the year.

The 29-year-old is in his fifth season of his MLB career. He underwent Tommy John surgery during the 2024 season and returned to the mound in August 2025. He has a 3.54 ERA with 396 strikeouts in 70 career starts.

Chicago fell to 4-8 with the loss.

Pete Alonso’s wife recaps first Orioles opener after bolting from Mets


It was a weekend filled with milestones for the Orioles’ new $155 million first baseman, Pete Alonso.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, wife Haley Alonso recapped the couple’s first MLB opening weekend in Baltimore after seven seasons with the Mets, and their first as a family of three following the birth of their son in October.

Captioning the post, “Opening weekend in birdland,” Haley is seen holding the couple’s baby boy alongside Alonso, 31, at Camden Yards, where the Orioles took two games in their three-game series against the Twins to open the year.

Alonso, who agreed to a five-year pact with the Orioles last December, tallied three hits and one RBI across 11 at-bats in the three games.

The Orioles will host the Rangers from Monday through Wednesday before traveling to Pittsburgh next weekend.

Alonso’s former Mets team dominated Paul Skenes and the Pirates in their season opener at Citi Field last Thursday, 11-7, and took Saturday’s game, 4-2.

The Mets lost their first game of the season Sunday in extra innings, 4-3.

Despite Alonso’s absence, Mets fans are still cheering on the five-time MLB All-Star from afar.

“So happy for your beautiful family! We will miss you at Citifield…the O’s are lucky to have you!” one fan commented on Haley’s Instagram.

“Miss you guys,” another wrote alongside orange and blue heart emojis. “We’re still rooting for you!!”

Alonso made his MLB debut for the Mets in 2019 after being drafted by the club in 2016.

He collected the Silver Slugger Award last season.

Upon moving on from the Mets, Alonso posted a heartfelt tribute to the fans.

“Thank you for the passion. Thank you for the love. Even the tough love that comes with playing for New York. When it came time for first pitch, thank you for being electric through it all. Thank you for getting rowdy every time I stepped up to the plate and made the building shake when the ball found a seat over the wall. Your energy fueled me more than you’ll ever know,” he wrote on Instagram in December.

Haley, who married Alonso in 2021, reflected on their “special” 2025 in a separate Instagram post, which highlighted the Orioles signing and the birth of their son.

“What a year and what a life we’ve got,” Alonso wrote. “Love you bunches.”
