Hoppe allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Athletics.
A Zack Gelof RBI single got one run back for the Athletics in the 10th inning, but he was left on base. That run was the first run Hoppe has allowed over 8.1 innings since joining the Orioles in a trade that sent Taylor Ward to Seattle at the deadline. The save was the first of Hoppe's career to go with three holds, two of which have also come since he was dealt. The right-hander has a 4.46 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 36.1 innings this year.

Orioles' Alex Hoppe: Baltimore-bound in four-player deal
Rotowire
The Orioles acquired Hoppe and right-handers Harrison Kreiling and Brock Moore from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for outfielder Taylor Ward, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Hoppe is the only big-league-ready arm the Orioles will receive in the deal, as Kreiling and Moore haven't pitched above the Single-A and Double-A levels, respectively. A 27-year-old righty, Hoppe reached the majors for the first time in April and compiled a 5.79 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB in 28 innings while working mostly in middle relief for Seattle. He'll likely slot into a similar role in the Baltimore bullpen.

Mariners' Alex Hoppe: Ready for MLB debut
Rotowire
Hoppe was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Hoppe has appeared in eight games for Triple-A Tacoma in 2026 and has not surrendered a run on four hits with a 12:3 K:BB across eight innings. The 27-year-old will look to build off his early season minor-league success when he makes his MLB debut out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Mariners designated Casey Legumina for assignment.
