Orioles Win Fourth Walk-Off in Five Games on Beavers’ 10th-Inning Single

Rookie production is powering a late-season upswing highlighted by a replay-confirmed finish.

Overview

  • Rookie Dylan Beavers lined a 10th-inning RBI single to beat the Pirates 2-1 on Wednesday, giving Baltimore seven wins in its past eight games.
  • One night earlier, a crew-chief review awarded Samuel Basallo an 11th-inning RBI single for a 3-2 win after video showed the popup touched Tommy Pham’s glove in fair territory before landing on the chalk.
  • Basallo has two walk-off hits in five days, including a ninth-inning homer to beat the Dodgers on Friday, continuing a breakout weeks after signing an eight-year, $67 million pre-arbitration deal.
  • In Tuesday’s opener against Pittsburgh, Kyle Bradish worked seven innings of one-run ball with six strikeouts in his third start since returning from elbow/Tommy John surgery.
  • Baltimore is managing short-term injuries — Dean Kremer (forearm), Tomoyuki Sugano (foot), and Basallo’s hand — as Adley Rutschman ramps up activity and Jordan Westburg approaches a rehab assignment.
