The 2004 Baltimore Orioles season was marked by a notable seven-game improvement from the previous year, as the team finished with a 78-84 record under new manager Lee Mazzilli. The offense was a major highlight, leading all of Major League Baseball in hits and at-bats, powered by the high-profile additions of Miguel Tejada, who led the American League with 150 RBIs, and Javy Lopez. Fans at Oriole Park at Camden Yards enjoyed an exciting campaign that saw the team remain competitive in the American League East and secure a third-place finish.
