The Angels started strong with an early offensive push. In the first inning, they managed to score 2 runs on 3 hits without committing any errors.

As the game progressed into the fifth inning, both teams remained scoreless since their initial scoring efforts until this point.

Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved pivotal for Baltimore as they unleashed a powerful rally that would ultimately decide the game's outcome. Scoring four runs on two hits with another error from Los Angeles contributing to their woes – it was clear that pitching inconsistencies plagued them throughout this stretch despite Tyler Anderson's solid start earlier (ERA:1.8). Connor Brogdon's relief appearance did not fare well either; he posted an ERA of 54 over limited innings pitched which further compounded issues faced by Angel’s bullpen during these crucial moments.


Ninth Inning


In what seemed like too little too late effort -the ninth inning saw some life return back into Angel bats when they managed one last run before closing out but fell short against resilient O’s defense holding firm till endgame whistle blew signaling finality once more upon scoreboard reading seven-three favoring visitors instead home crowd favorites hoping otherwise till very end indeed!
