In that game against the Reds, the Orioles demonstrated their offensive prowess by accumulating 11 hits and securing 11 runs. The team's batting average stood at .314 with a slugging percentage of .686, highlighting their ability to convert plays into scores effectively. Moreover, they showcased strategic gameplay by achieving five hits during run-scoring opportunities out of nine attempts. This level of performance is indicative of a team that is not only skilled but also highly focused and strategic in its approach.


On the pitching side, both starters and bullpen pitchers played pivotal roles in maintaining a low ERA (Earned Run Average), with starters boasting an ERA of 0.0 over six innings pitched and overall pitching staff holding it down to just one earned run across nine innings. Such statistics underscore the balanced strength of the Orioles' roster where both offense and defense complement each other effectively.
