Overview

  • Basallo crushed a 1-2 pitch 433 feet to right-center off Tanner Scott with two outs in the ninth to seal a 2-1 win at Camden Yards.
  • It was his first career walk-off and first homer at Oriole Park, delivering Baltimore’s second walk-off victory of the season.
  • Dean Kremer exited after three hitless innings with discomfort, and six Orioles relievers limited Los Angeles to five hits as Yennier Cano earned the win.
  • Shohei Ohtani drew a spot start after Tyler Glasnow was scratched with back stiffness and logged 3 2/3 scoreless innings with five strikeouts.
  • Baltimore opened the scoring on a double-steal that turned into a wild pitch before Freddie Freeman tied it with a sixth-inning solo homer, and the Dodgers dropped their fourth straight.
