Overview
- The Orioles erupted for eight runs in the second inning on home runs by Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ramón Laureano but failed to score in the final seven innings.
- Starter Trevor Rogers was pulled after 2⅓ innings when his command deteriorated following a 30-minute dugout delay, allowing three runs just after Baltimore’s big inning.
- Baltimore's bullpen, previously MLB's best over the past three weeks, yielded 12 unanswered runs on 18 hits, with Yennier Cano and Andrew Kittredge each allowing four runs.
- This marks only the third time in franchise history that the Orioles have blown an eight-run lead and ties the Rays’ biggest comeback.
- With the loss dropping Baltimore to 31-42, their playoff prospects have dwindled following a season marred by injuries, inconsistent play and rare late-game collapses.
