Jackson’s Double Saves Orioles | Baltimore Orioles News

Jeremiah Jackson delivered when it mattered most, crushing a pinch-hit double in the eighth to give the Orioles a rare lead, which they held onto for a dramatic 3-2 win — their first since avoiding a season-low ten games under .500. After a string of low-scoring games, the manager praised Jackson’s readiness and the favorable matchup, while crediting Pete Alonso’s hustle for scoring the winning run. The ninth inning was tense, featuring a defensive miscue, but the team pulled it out — their seventh one-run victory this season, sealed by a former Cub.
