Orioles Clutch Hits Seal Wild Card Push | Oakland Athletics News

Baltimore Orioles clawed their way to a thrilling 4-3 extra-innings win over the Athletics, thanks to clutch hits from Coby Mayo and Christian Encarnacion-Strand in the 10th inning. The victory keeps them just two games behind Cleveland for the final AL wild card spot. After falling behind early on a Beavers single and error, the Orioles battled back with Jonah Heim’s seventh-inning homer and a late rally that forced extras. Despite ending their 15-game home run streak, they delivered when it mattered most. Andrew Kittredge earned the win, and Alex Hoppe recorded his first save. The Orioles look to extend the momentum Saturday as Shane Baz takes the mound against an unannounced Athletics starter.
