Orioles Complete Sweep of Pirates with Another Walk-Off Win

Rookie Dylan Beavers delivered the game-winning hit for the second consecutive day as the Baltimore Orioles edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2, finishing a three-game sweep and handing the Pirates their sixth straight loss.

Seventh Inning Rally Propels Orioles

In the seventh inning, Jackson Holliday led off with a single and stole his 16th base of the season against Pirates reliever Colin Holderman. After a one-out intentional walk to Gunnar Henderson, and following a strikeout, Evan Sisk took over on the mound. Beavers then singled on a 3-2 pitch, scoring Holliday and giving Baltimore a 3-2 lead. This clutch single echoed Beavers’ previous walk-off hit in Wednesday's 2-1 victory.

Pirates Strike First, Orioles Answer Quickly

Pittsburgh opened the scoring in the first inning as Jared Triolo singled and came home on a two-out base hit by Nick Gonzales. The Orioles replied in the bottom half when Jeremiah Jackson singled, and Henderson doubled, setting up a game-tying groundout from Emmanuel Rivera.

In the second inning, Colton Cowser walked, stole his 10th base, and scored on a two-out single by Coby Mayo, putting Baltimore ahead 2-1.

Pirates Tie It Up on Canario’s Long Ball

Alexander Canario evened the score in the third with a leadoff home run, his sixth of the year, smashing a 409-foot shot to left field.

Pitching Performances

Baltimore starter Cade Povich kept the Pirates in check, allowing two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings. Rookie reliever Grant Wolfram (3-0) pitched a clean seventh inning to earn the win, and Keegan Akin closed out the ninth for his fifth save.

Pirates starter Johan Oviedo matched Povich with two runs allowed on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

In summary
