Orioles pitcher takes part in gender reveal as he walks off mound following relief appearance

Orioles reliever Nunez reveals brother's baby boy on camera

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Anthony Nunez mouthed "It's a boy" to a television camera as he left the mound after a scoreless relief inning against the Oakland Athletics on May 10, 2026, at Camden Yards.

The gesture served as a gender reveal for his brother Danny and sister-in-law Makayla Delgado, who are expecting their third child and did not know the sex. MASN broadcaster Kevin Brown noted the moment live, praising it as one of the most creative gender reveals and hoping the couple was watching. Nunez later explained his family gathered for Mother's Day, with his brother seeking a surprise announcement.

Nunez preserved Baltimore's 2-1 lead in the eventual victory. Chris Bassitt earned the win after pitching six innings and allowing one run on four hits, following opener Keegan Akin. Rico Garcia recorded his third save, while Oakland's lone run came on Carlos Cortes' RBI that scored Tyler Soderstrom.

Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson and outfielder Dylan Beavers each drove in a run against Athletics starter Luis Severino. Baltimore improved to 18-23; Oakland fell to 21-19.
