Orioles' Bats Silenced as Phillies Prevail at Citizens Bank Park

First Inning

The Baltimore Orioles faced a challenging evening at Citizens Bank Park, where they were unable to score against the Philadelphia Phillies. The game concluded with a 5-0 victory for the Phillies, bringing their record to 65-48 while the Orioles fell to 51-63. The first inning saw both teams starting cautiously, with neither side managing to put runs on the board.

Second Inning

The second inning proved pivotal for the Phils as they surged ahead with a trio of runs. The O's struggled defensively during this period, allowing five hits that contributed significantly to Philadelphia's early lead. Despite efforts from players like Coby Mayo and Jeremiah Jackson, who each managed a hit in this inning, Baltimore couldn't capitalize on their opportunities.

Fourth Inning

In the fourth inning, Philadelphia extended their lead by adding another run. The Birds' pitching staff found themselves under pressure but managed to limit further damage thanks in part to Dean Kremer's efforts on the mound. However, Kremer's overall performance was marred by an earned run average of 6.0 and eight hits allowed over six innings pitched.

Eighth Inning

As the game progressed into its later stages, Tyler O'Neill and Adley Rutschman attempted to rally for Baltimore but were met with strong resistance from Philadelphia's defense. A final push from Philly in the eighth inning added one more run to their tally while maintaining a clean sheet against Baltimore’s lineup.

Ninth Inning

Despite some late-game attempts by Colton Cowser and Gunnar Henderson at bat during the ninth inning, it was clear that fortune favored Philadelphia throughout this matchup. With only five hits recorded across nine innings without any errors committed by either team defensively—Baltimore simply couldn’t find its rhythm offensively or defensively against an efficient Phillies squad.
