Heading into the top of the 9th Friday night, the Orioles had a 1-0 lead, a 34-inning scoreless streak going and Félix Bautista on the mound. It seemed like the perfect setup for their second 1-0 win this week. Instead, Birdland was treated to a second straight walk-off at Camden Yards.
After Bautista blew the save in the top of the 9th, the Orioles’ previous walk-off hero Adley Rutschman stepped up to the plate to lead off the bottom of the frame. Rutschman couldn’t repeat the feat grounding out to second for the first out. That’s when the wheels of the walk-off really started to get into motion.
