Each team would go scoreless until the Nationals scored two runs in the top of the fifth inning. Kurt Suzuki and Carter Kaiboom brought in one run each to extend the Nationals’ lead to five to one.
The Orioles would provide a great viewing experience in both of the bottom sixth and seventh innings. In the sixth inning, Pedro Severino demolishes a ball to left field to score three runs to cut in to the Nationals’ lead to bring the game to five to four. Then again in the bottom of the seventh, Santander hit a one run home run to tie the game at five.
Sadly, Juan Soto reached home on a Rio Ruiz fielding error to take the lead six to five. Overall, the Orioles put in a good effort throughout the game but it was not enough to win.
The Orioles look to get back in the win column against the Toronto Blue Jays tomorrow evening. The Blue Jays come to town for a three game series. The Orioles fall to third in the American League East. However, it is a close race with the Tampa Bay Rays for second place.
