The Orioles made it exciting, but ultimately could not put up enough offense or hold a late lead, falling 4-3 to the Phillies in the team’s interleague finale for the 2021 season.
It was a bit of an imperfect pitcher’s duel through the game’s first five innings. Both starters were allowing baserunners, but the game remained scoreless. Baltimore’s Keegan Akin stumbled through Philadelphia’s batting order the first time, scattering a slew of singles. While potential Cy Young candidate Zach Wheeler tip toed around some trouble of his own. The two hurlers would leave the game with similarly stellar lines.
