Overview

  • Tomoyuki Sugano pitched his best MLB game yet, allowing just one run over 7 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks.
  • Gunnar Henderson provided early momentum with a solo home run in the first inning and added an RBI triple in the ninth for extra insurance.
  • Baltimore's bullpen, led by Félix Bautista's perfect ninth inning for his seventh save, preserved the win after Sugano's exit.
  • The Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak, improving their record to 14-23 after struggling early in the season.
  • The Angels, hindered by one of MLB's lowest team OPS figures, managed only three hits in the loss, continuing their offensive struggles.
