Orioles' Offensive Breakthrough


The Orioles started strong with a run in the first inning but truly made their mark during the fifth and sixth innings. Ryan Mountcastle was instrumental in this offensive push, contributing significantly with his consistent hitting performance. His batting average of .500 from previous games continued to shine through as he helped drive runs home.


Gunnar Henderson also played a crucial role for the O's, maintaining his impressive form from earlier games where he boasted an average of .400 and an OPS of 1.6. His ability to get on base set up scoring opportunities that were capitalized upon by his teammates.

In total, Baltimore managed eight hits throughout the game while maintaining discipline at bat with only nine strikeouts across nine innings. Their patience paid off as they drew four walks and took advantage of two errors committed by Los Angeles.


Angels' Early Lead Diminished


The Angels initially took control by scoring two runs in the first inning thanks to timely hits from key players like Mike Trout. However, they struggled to maintain momentum against Baltimore’s pitching staff led by Zach Eflin who pitched five solid innings allowing only two earned runs.

Despite early success, Los Angeles couldn't find rhythm offensively after those initial scores; they were limited to just six hits overall due largely because of effective relief work from Yennier Cano whose ERA remains impressively low following this outing.


Baltimore’s bullpen proved formidable once again as Seranthony Domínguez closed out any potential comeback attempts late into proceedings without conceding further ground – showcasing why he is considered one of their most reliable relievers currently available within rotation options available today!
