In a thrilling extra-innings showdown, Samuel Basallo’s RBI single in the 11th inning propelled the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 walk-off victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The hit, which was initially called a foul ball, was overturned after a review, marking the Orioles’ third consecutive walk-off win and solidifying their strong performance in September.
With Gunnar Henderson scoring on Basallo’s decisive hit,
the victory allowed the Orioles to improve their record to 6-1 in the month of September. This season has been marked by close games, with the Orioles now boasting 11 one-run victories since the All-Star break, tying for the MLB lead with the Cleveland Guardians.
The game began with Jackson Holliday securing the first run for the Orioles in the first inning, followed by Jeremiah Jackson extending the lead with a solo home run in the sixth inning. However, the Pirates fought back when Tommy Pham hit a solo homer in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 2-2.
Dietrich Enns earned the win for the Orioles, pitching two scoreless innings in extra innings without yielding a hit, allowing for the necessary setup for Basallo’s game-winning play. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish made a commendable return, striking out six batters and allowing only one run and four hits during his seven-inning start—his third since recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Pirates relief pitcher Dauri Moreta, who took the mound in the 11th inning, struggled, allowing two hits and a walk, which ultimately set up the walk-off single. Pirates starter Mike Burrows had a strong outing, pitching four innings with two hits and one run surrendered, while striking out six batters.
This season, the Orioles have shown a knack for determining the outcome of nail-biting games, having played an MLB-high 23 one-run games since the All-Star break. Their resolution in tight situations has brought them success, as they have now won their last four games decided by a single run.
As both teams look forward, the Orioles will next face the Pirates with a starting matchup featuring RHP Tyler Wells (1-0, 3.60) against Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (10-9, 1.98 ERA) on Wednesday. Baltimore continues to challenge itself amid a competitive atmosphere, striving to maintain their winning momentum as the season progresses.
