First Inning


The game began with an early lead for the Orioles as they scored one run in their first inning at-bat. The Birds capitalized on their initial momentum, with Ramón Urías contributing significantly to this early advantage. His consistent performance set a positive tone for his team.


Fourth Inning


As the innings progressed, both teams displayed solid defense until the fourth inning when Baltimore added two more runs to their tally. Gunnar Henderson played a pivotal role during this period, showcasing his hitting prowess with an impressive batting average of .750 in previous games. His ability to get on base proved crucial for extending Baltimore's lead.

Sixth Inning


The sixth inning saw another surge from the O's as they managed two additional runs, further widening their lead over Oakland. Ramón Laureano was instrumental during this phase; his offensive skills were evident as he maintained an OPS of 1.8 from prior performances and drove in three RBIs that contributed significantly to Baltimore's scoreline.


Ninth Inning


Despite Oakland’s efforts throughout various innings—particularly notable were Brent Rooker’s attempts—the Athletics struggled against Baltimore’s bullpen dominance late into the game. Seranthony Domínguez and Gregory Soto delivered strong pitching performances without allowing any earned runs or walks during critical moments when pressure mounted on them defensively.

The final innings saw little change in scoring dynamics despite some attempts by Oakland hitters like Lawrence Butler who tried closing gaps between scores but ultimately fell short due largely because of effective pitching strategies employed by Keegan Akin among others within Birdland ranks which kept opposing batters off balance consistently throughout match duration itself leading up towards eventual victory secured firmly under belt now!
