The match was a showcase of talent and strategy from both squads. The Orioles demonstrated their offensive strength early in the game by securing three runs in the second inning through aggressive batting that yielded three hits and took advantage of an error by their opponents. They further extended their run tally to four by adding another in the fifth inning, amassing seven hits over the course of the game despite committing three errors.


Conversely, the Dodgers' approach was marked by tactical acumen and decisive moments that propelled them to victory. Despite managing only five hits during the encounter, they leveraged these opportunities to notch up six runs. A critical juncture came in the third inning when they amassed four runs off three hits while capitalizing on an Orioles' error—a move that proved pivotal in establishing their lead.

Individual performances played a significant role in shaping this outcome as well. Teoscar Hernández emerged as a key offensive player for his team with an average of .250 and driving in three runs, demonstrating his clutch hitting ability when it mattered most. On defense, Evan Phillips stood out with his stellar pitching from bullpen duties; he maintained an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 throughout his appearance on mound which played a crucial part in quelling any potential comebacks from Baltimore.


Both teams exhibited moments of defensive brilliance interspersed with lapses under pressure which ultimately had bearing on how this competitive duel unfolded.
