Summary
THE ORIOLES FINISH THE SWEEP! 🔥 The Baltimore Orioles erased a four-run deficit to beat the Athletics 8-5 in Sacramento, completing the series sweep behind an absolutely unforgettable day from Gunnar Henderson. Gunnar went a perfect 4-for-4 with two home runs, a triple, and five RBI—his most RBI in a game since July 5, 2023. He started the day by taking left-hander Jeffrey Springs deep in the first inning, then delivered the biggest blow of the afternoon: a three-run homer that flipped the game after Coby Mayo’s huge comeback blast. Down 5-1 in the fourth, Coby Mayo launched an Earl Weaver Special—a three-run home run on a 2-0 changeup—to bring Baltimore right back into it. Then Gunnar answered immediately in the fifth with a three-run shot to put the O’s ahead for good. And Gunnar still was not finished. After Pete Alonso was hit in the helmet and Jackson Holliday entered as a pinch runner, Henderson ripped an opposite-field RBI triple in the eighth to make it 8-5. Chris Bassitt battled through a rough start after allowing five runs across the first three innings, but he settled in and gave the Orioles 5.2 innings. Anthony Nunez then delivered four huge consecutive outs as the Baltimore bullpen locked down another road win. Luke Slabaugh reacts to the Orioles’ sweep, Gunnar Henderson’s monster afternoon, Coby Mayo’s clutch power, Chris Bassitt’s start, and what this comeback says about the fight in this Baltimore clubhouse.
