The Baltimore Orioles improved their record to 31-18 with a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox, who now stand at 15-37. The game, held at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, saw the Orioles capitalize on key moments to secure their win.

The Orioles started slowly, with no runs in the first two innings. However, they managed to break through in the third inning with one run off two hits.
