In second place are two pitchers, Mike Cuellar in 1970 and Scott McGregor in 1985. These two Orioles pitchers gave up 34 home runs in their respective seasons.

The only Cy Young winner on the list

The only guy on the list twice

Scott McGregor shares this record with Cuellar and he also happens to be a member of the first place team, too. McGregor played 13 seasons in the Orioles and only the Orioles. His career ERA was 3.99. During his tenure, McGregor helped the Orioles get their third and latest World Series title in 1983.
