BOWIE, MARYLAND — Mid-Shore Orioles followers tracking the pipeline west of the Bay got a pitching night: the Chesapeake Baysox beat the Portland Sea Dogs 3-1 on Friday at Prince George’s Stadium, according to the official Baysox milb.com release dated Sept. 4, 2026, and the MiLB/Stats API final box.

Baysox right-hander JT Quinn, listed in the club note as Baltimore’s No. 14 prospect via MLB.com, worked five scoreless innings in his fourth Double-A start — three hits, two walks, five strikeouts — and improved to 2-0.
