Orioles Complete Sweep of Braves 2-1 Behind Rogers, Holliday (July 6, 2025)

Sunday, July 6th, 2025

ATLANTA — Jackson Holliday's two-run homer gave Baltimore an early lead and Trevor Rogers ended his career-spanning victory drought against Atlanta by giving up four hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings as the Orioles beat the Braves 2-1 on Sunday, July 6, 2025, completing a three-game sweep at Truist Park.

Rogers, now 2-0 on the season, struck out six and walked two in his dominant performance. Seranthony Domínguez entered in the ninth inning. Sean Murphy hit a home run for Atlanta with one out, followed by a single from Ozzie Albies. Domínguez then closed it out for his second save of the season.

Rogers, who was acquired by Baltimore from Miami last July, had previously struggled against the Braves, holding an 0-7 record with a 5.57 ERA in nine career starts before this outing.

Braves manager Brian Snitker elected to hold outfielders Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II and designated hitter Marcell Ozuna out of the starting lineup for the early 10:35 a.m. start time.

The Braves fell to 39-50 on the season and have now lost four straight games, dropping to a season-low 11 games under .500.

Key Moment

Holliday's crucial two-run home run came in the third inning off Braves pitcher Grant Holmes, who fell to 4-8. The ball barely cleared the brick wall in right field, providing the decisive runs.
