Orioles win over White Sox with Beavers' 2-run home run, ensuring a 3-1 victory for Baltimore
The Baltimore Orioles emerged victorious in an exciting game against the Chicago White Sox, with Keegan Akin securing his 7th save of the season in the 9th inning.
The game began on a high note for the Orioles, as they jumped in front in the 1st inning. Gunnar Henderson hit a two-out single, scoring Jeremiah Jackson, who had earlier reached base with an infield single.
Cade Povich, the left-handed starting pitcher for the Orioles, made his return from a hip injury and took to the mound on Friday evening. Despite having a 5.05 ERA this season, Povich pitched effectively for six innings, allowing one run and four hits in his third start of the campaign.
Tyler Wells, who had an impressive outing, preceded Povich. Wells pitched effectively for six innings, allowing just one run and four hits in his third start of the season.
In the 9th inning, Akin handled the pressure, retiring three batters in a row, including Colson Montgomery and Miguel Vargas, both of whom flew out to left field. The inning began with a leadoff single by Chase Meidroth, but Akin managed to close the game without further incident.
Unfortunately for the White Sox, starter Martín Pérez had to depart the game with left shoulder soreness in the 4th inning. Mike Tauchman, the leadoff hitter for the White Sox in the 4th inning, homered for the last-place White Sox, marking his ninth homer of the season. However, it was not enough to turn the tide of the game.
In a remarkable display of speed, the Orioles set a franchise record by stealing seven bases in a single game.
Looking ahead, Povich is scheduled to start for the Orioles on Thursday night against the New York Yankees, while Davis Martin will take the mound for the White Sox on Friday against the San Diego Padres.
Meanwhile, one of Baltimore's top prospects, Dylan Beavers, made a significant impact in the game, hitting a two-run homer in the 4th inning against Martín Pérez.
Yaramil Hiraldo and Rico Garcia each pitched an inning for the Orioles, maintaining the lead and securing the victory.
