This resilience was further displayed in a stunning victory over the Mariners in another match where they turned around a hit deficit of 9-10 into a commanding 9-2 win.


A critical factor for the Orioles has been their bullpen's effectiveness and timely hitting. Against the Blue Jays, despite trailing in hits for most of the game, they capitalized on crucial moments to secure a narrow 3-2 victory. This knack for clutch performance highlights an Orioles team that thrives under pressure and can pivot strategies mid-game effectively.
