Immediately, Pedro Severino hit his own home run to left field to make it a three to two ball game. The Orioles put on a show with three back to back home runs.
The last home run came from, none other than, Anthony Santander to score two runs. This would put the Orioles ahead five to three. The Nationals could not come back from this deficit.
The Orioles scored five runs off of six hits with one error and the Nationals scored three runs off of eight hits with no errors. The Orioles now sit only two and a half games back out of first place. Tomorrow afternoon, the Orioles hope to complete a series sweep.
