Trevor Rogers was acquired by the Orioles nearly two weeks ago. But before Tuesday, he still hadn’t seen Camden Yards.

Rogers, like many of his other new teammates who joined the Orioles over their 10-game road trip, made his home debut Tuesday night hoping to build on his last start. He had an uninspiring first game with Baltimore, then showed promise in the second. The third, a rare second chance at a first impression, ended as an opportunity spoiled.

The 26-year-old left-hander allowed five runs and scattered seven hits and two walks over five innings in a 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals.

“Thought my stuff was about average tonight,” Rogers said. “I did a decent job of getting to two strikes, but just couldn’t put guys away.”

Rogers has yet to record a quality start in his three outings with the Orioles (70-50). He hasn’t completed six innings in any of them and has allowed five runs in two of the three. The trade, in which the Orioles sent a pair of major league-ready prospects to the Miami Marlins, sparked questions of whether Rogers was enough to bolster the rotation midseason.

Those doubts haven’t subsided.

The left-hander allowed two runs in the first inning on a pair of hits. All-Star shortstop C.J. Abrams doubled then scored on a single from James Wood, the only prospect ranked ahead of Jackson Holliday by Baseball America. Another run scored from third when Rogers picked off Wood, who bounced between first baseman Ryan Mountcastle and shortstop Gunnar Henderson long enough to let the runner reach home.

“Mounty needs to look the runner back at third base,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “I think the throw took him into the runner or toward the field side, so it kinda made him turn his back, but you gotta have some awareness there.”

Rogers let two batters reach base again in the second inning but stranded both. After a scoreless third, he allowed two more to score in the fourth. Wood’s leadoff single preceded a double and consecutive sacrifice flies to put Baltimore down 4-2.

Wood, a Rockville native who finished 4-for-5 with two extra-base hits, started the sixth with another leadoff single, chasing Rogers and later scoring off Bryan Baker to worsen the starter’s final line. Rogers now sports a 7.53 ERA with his new team. He allowed five or more runs just once across 21 starts with Miami, but he’s now done it twice in just three outings with Baltimore.

“It’s baseball, gonna have a couple rough spots,” Rogers said. “Just gotta keep working.”

The Orioles’ offense matched Washington early but never caught back up after the left-hander cratered. Three straight singles from Adley Rutschman, Ryan O’Hearn and Mountcastle to start the second inning gave Baltimore its first run of the night. Anthony Santander crushed his team-leading 36th home run to continue his power surge and knot the score at 2 in the third.

The blast gave the outfielder the Orioles franchise record for homers in a season by a switch hitter, passing Ken Singleton. It’s his second long ball in as many days, fifth of August and keeps him in third place in the majors.

Baltimore didn’t score again until the ninth, falling to 17-19 since the start of July. Five scattered singles and an RBI fielder’s choice by Colton Cowser were all it could muster after Santander’s game-tying home run.

“We’re really inconsistent,” Hyde said. “We’re giving up way too many runs. Tonight, I didn’t think our bats were real good. We’re not moving the line offensively enough.”

The Orioles’ trade deadline moves have mostly proven impactful. Zach Eflin, Seranthony Domínguez, Eloy Jiménez and Austin Slater have become valuable additions and filled important roles. Even Gregory Soto pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday to get back on track after his rough introduction to Baltimore.

Rogers, still, is the exception.
