History

Orioles Historic Feat

The Orioles became the first team since 1974 to bat 1.000 with two outs and no runners on in at least eight plate appearances in a game.
Griffin Canning and Randy Vásquez pitched five innings, with Canning giving up seven runs and Vásquez allowing two.
Miguel Andújar was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, prompting Nick Solak—whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso—to contribute a sacrifice fly.

Summary

Henderson 100th

Gunnar Henderson hit his 100th career home run, a 386-foot solo shot.
At 24 years, 348 days, he became the fourth-youngest Oriole to 100 homers and tied Cal Ripken Jr. for most before age 25.
The win moved the Orioles to a 34-37 record, fourth in the AL East.
Pete Alonso moved to the third spot in the lineup, batting .245 with 15 HRs and 46 RBI in 71 games.

History

Historical Context

In 1974 the Oakland Athletics captured a third straight World Series, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 after defeating the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS, becoming the first team since the Yankees to three-peat. Their 90-72 season and clutch hitting, including games decided by one run, set a standard of efficiency. The 2024 Baltimore Orioles’ perfect-at-bat inning echoes that 1974 A’s emphasis on timely offense.
