Basallo's Blast Lifts Orioles Over Royals

Samuel Basallo ignited the Baltimore Orioles with a go-ahead, two-run home run in the eighth inning, securing a 5-3 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. The win came in the opening game of a series between the two last-place teams. Blaze Alexander also contributed a home run for the Orioles.

Kansas City's Jac Caglianone and Isaac Collins hit solo shots, but it wasn't enough to overcome Baltimore's late-game heroics. The Royals, having lost three straight and 11 of their last 15 games, struggled to contain the Orioles' offense. Baltimore took an early lead in the second inning with consecutive RBI singles and extended it with Alexander's homer in the fourth, before Basallo's decisive blast sealed the win.
