Orioles minor league affiliates conclude seasons with mixed results
Summary

As minor league baseball seasons approach completion, the Orioles' four affiliates exhibit varied performance levels. The Frederick Keys and Chesapeake Baysox currently maintain strong late-season surges, with the Keys moving toward league playoffs. In contrast, the Norfolk Tides and Delmarva Shorebirds face challenging conclusions to their schedules. Norfolk recently finished a 4-2 series against the Durham Bulls, featuring an 11-strikeout performance from Cade Povich before his promotion to the major leagues. Meanwhile, the Chesapeake Baysox posted a 4-2 record against the Harrisburg Senators, with infielder Aron Estrada and first baseman Victor Figueroa contributing offensive production. The Chesapeake Baysox now prepare for their final home series before finishing the season in Richmond.
