BALTIMORE — The Orioles were one out away from pitching their third straight shutout and extending their scoreless innings streak to 35.
Then Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Báez popped those balloons with a two-out single off closer Félix Bautista in the ninth, forcing the Orioles to score more than one run to win a game for the first time since Sunday.
The pitching party might have been over, but the Orioles still had some celebrating left in them. Ryan Mountcastle raced home to beat first baseman Spencer Torkelson’s throw after Adam Frazier’s ground ball to give Baltimore the 2-1 walk-off win.
