Dodgers suffer a shocking defeat as Orioles blast late run surge, snatching a 4-3 victory in the 9th inning, snapping their no-hitter streak.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a hard-fought victory over the Baltimore Orioles in a dramatic ninth inning, with Emmanuel Rivera delivering the game-winning hit.
In a pitching duel that saw both teams struggle to find their offensive rhythm, it was Yoshinobu Yamamoto who took the mound for the Dodgers, aiming to etch his name in the history books. The Japanese right-hander, who tied a career high with 10 strikeouts, kept the Orioles hitless until the bottom of the ninth, when Jackson Holliday broke the silence with a home run, denying Yamamoto a no-hitter.
Meanwhile, Blake Treinen (1-3) suffered the loss for the Orioles, giving up four runs in the ninth inning. The Dodgers' winning pitcher was Albert Suarez (1-0).
The Dodgers' offense was led by Mookie Betts, who had a run-scoring single in the fifth inning and an RBI triple in the seventh. Shohei Ohtani contributed with an RBI grounder in the third inning. The decisive moment came in the ninth, when Rivera hit a two-run single off Tanner Scott, sealing the 2-1 win for the Dodgers.
Interestingly, Camden Yards has hosted only one no-hitter since opening in 1992, thrown by Hideo Nomo in 2001. The last time the Orioles were no-hit was by another Japanese right-hander, Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners, on Aug. 12, 2015. The Dodgers' last solo no-hitter was Clayton Kershaw's on June 18, 2014, against Colorado.
As for the next game, Walker Buehler (9-2) will start for the Dodgers against Tomoyuki Sugano (10-7) of the Orioles. The Dodgers' pitcher for this game has not been explicitly stated in the available search results.
In the previous night's game, Tanner Scott allowed a walk-off homer to Orioles rookie Samuel Basallo, adding to the excitement of this series.
The Dodgers will look to build on this win as they continue their series against the Orioles, while the Orioles will aim to bounce back and spoil Buehler's outing.
