# 2015 Baltimore Orioles season

The 2015 Baltimore Orioles season was the 115th season in franchise history, the 62nd in Baltimore, and the 24th at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. They were attempting to defend their 2014 AL East title, but were eliminated from the division title race on September 23, 11+1⁄2 games back from Toronto. They were eliminated from the postseason on September 28, 6+1⁄2 games back from Houston for the second AL wild card spot. They finished the season .500 (81-81), their fourth straight non-losing season under manager Buck Showalter.
The one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season was first baseman Chris Davis winning the MLB Home Run Championship with 47, the third consecutive year in which the crown was won by an Oriole after Davis in 2013 and Nelson Cruz in 2014. Third baseman Manny Machado was the only player in the majors to play all 162 games, a reassuring feat after Machado had missed significant portions of the preceding two seasons due to knee injuries.

### Season highlights

* The team's April 29 home game against the White Sox became the first in MLB history to be played without a paying crowd, as safety concerns over the ongoing civil unrest in the city led the team to play with the stadium closed to the public following two postponed games. The next series, scheduled to be a home series against the Tampa Bay Rays, was moved to Tampa Bay with Baltimore being the designated home team for the same reason.
* On June 16, the team broke a franchise record by hitting 8 home runs against the Phillies.
* On June 28, the team swept a doubleheader against the Indians, 4-0 and 8–0. It was the first time an O's team had won both ends of a doubleheader by shutout since 1974.
* On August 12, Seattle Mariners pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma threw a no-hitter against the Orioles.
* On August 16, the Orioles tied a franchise record with twenty-six hits in a single game in an 18–2 victory over the Oakland Athletics. This was also the first time in Browns/Orioles history the team had scored 18 runs or more three times in a season (18-7 over Boston on 4/26 and 19–3 over Philadelphia on 6/16).
* On October 3, the team swept a doubleheader against the Yankees, 9-2 and 4–3. It was the second time the O's won both ends of a doubleheader this season.
