Trailing the LA Angels 4-3 in the seventh inning Saturday night, the Baltimore Orioles came back and won the game by a score of 5-4.
The 7th started with the Orioles trailing 4-2. Anthony Bemboom (2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 run scored) singled, Jorge Mateo (0 for 4, 1 SB) lined out, Cedric Mullins (1 for 3, 2 runs scored, 1 BB, 2 SB, 1 HBP) was hit by a pitch and Anthony Santander (0 for 3, 2 runs scored, 1 HBP, 1 BB) loaded the bases by reaching on a throwing error by Anthony Rendon.
Trey Mancini’s sacrifice fly made the score 4-2 which set the stage for Ryan Mountcastle. The Orioles’ first baseman singled in 2 runs to put the Birds on top 5-4. Mountcastle finished the game 2 for 5 with 3 RBI and a first inning stolen base; it was his first inning single that started the Baltimore scoring.
Dillon Tate (1.0 IP, 1 BB, 1 K) and Joey Krehbiel (1.0 IP, 1 BB) made the score hold up and Jorge Lopez (1.0 IP, 1 H, 2 K) saved it for Bryan Baker (1-0) who relieved starter Spenser Watkins (5.0 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 3 BB, 2 K, 2 HR allowed to Mike Trout).
