TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
Baltimore took down the MLB-leading Tampa Bay Rays again, grinding out a chaotic 4-3, extra-innings Saturday-night win for its second straight one-run road victory. Tyler O’Neill came through with the go-ahead RBI single off former Orioles teammate—and Rays closer—Bryan Baker in the 10th, putting the O’s ahead for good in a game that had every ounce of late-inning drama Birdland could handle. Pete Alonso and Christian Encarnacion-Strand launched solo home runs on offspeed pitches, while Gunnar Henderson and Christian Franklin helped manufacture an early run. Franklin’s clutch two-out walk put Henderson in scoring position before Leody Taveras drove him home with an RBI single. Kyle Bradish battled through six innings without his best command, walking three and generating only four swings-and-misses on 35 strikes. Still, Bradish limited Tampa Bay to two earned runs and gave Baltimore a winning start when it mattered. Craig Albernaz then pressed the right bullpen buttons with Alex Hoppe, Josh Walker, and Rico Garcia bridging to the ninth. Then came the chaos: Andrew Kittredge was one out away from closing it before a misplay at third by Encarnacion-Strand opened the door for Junior Caminero’s game-tying RBI single. But the Orioles answered immediately, O’Neill delivered the decisive blow, and Cam Sanders slammed the door for his third save in just six outings as an Oriole. With the win, Baltimore temporarily moves into a five-way tie for the final American League Wild Card spot. The Rangers had yet to play, while the Twins were still in progress at the time of this live Orioles Postcast. Luke Slabaugh reacts to an unforgettable Orioles win: the clutch at-bat from O’Neill, Alonso and Encarnacion-Strand going deep, Bradish battling, the ninth-inning meltdown-and-response, Sanders closing it out, and what this surge means for the Wild Card race. Birdland, are these Orioles starting to believe they can beat anybody?
