Orioles Suffer Gut-Wrenching Extra-Inning Loss
25 Jul
Summary
- Jackson Holliday's throwing error in the 10th inning allowed the go-ahead run.
- The Orioles lost 7-6 after a late-game collapse against the Braves.
- Trevor Rogers pitched seven strong innings but didn't get the win.
The Baltimore Orioles experienced a devastating 7-6 defeat in 10 innings against the Atlanta Braves on Friday, a game that began with the excitement of Kyle Bradish's contract extension. The loss was sealed in the 10th inning when Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday's throwing error allowed the Braves to score the go-ahead run. Atlanta then extended their lead with a three-run home run.
Earlier in the game, the Orioles had built a lead, aided by a solid outing from pitcher Trevor Rogers. Rogers delivered seven strong innings, limiting one of baseball's top offenses to just two runs. His performance continues to highlight his value to the team, especially as contract extension talks may loom for the pitcher.
The Orioles' offense showed flashes, including Christian Encarnacion-Strand's third home run in five games as an Oriole, but ultimately fell short. A potential game-winning opportunity in the ninth inning was missed when Taylor Ward grounded out with the bases loaded.
