The game's pivotal moment came early in the second inning when the Orioles exploded for five runs. This surge was highlighted by their ability to leverage three hits effectively during this inning alone. Notably, two critical home runs contributed significantly to their lead, underscoring their offensive efficiency and power hitting capabilities.


On defense, despite committing two errors throughout the game, Baltimore's fielding efforts were solid overall. The team demonstrated strong defensive plays with nine assists and successfully caught one runner attempting to steal base.

Pitching was another area where Baltimore excelled. Corbin Burnes claimed his fifth win of the season thanks to a stellar performance that included six strikeouts across nine innings pitched. His effort contributed significantly to keeping Boston's scoring ambitions in check throughout most of the game.


The Red Sox managed only one run in this contest which came in during an error-stricken second inning for Baltimore but failed to sustain any momentum as they struggled against Baltimore’s pitching lineup. Kutter Crawford took the loss for Boston after allowing significant runs early in his appearance.
