Orioles Stun Dodgers With Late Rally After Yamamoto’s Near No-Hitter
BALTIMORE: Baseball fans at Camden Yards witnessed another unforgettable Sept. 6 moment as the Baltimore Orioles shocked the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday night, spoiling what nearly became a historic pitching performance.
Yamamoto’s Brilliant Outing Ends in Heartbreak
Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto was just one out away from completing a no-hitter when Jackson Holliday crushed a solo home run to right field. That blast not only ended Yamamoto’s dream but also ignited a four-run rally that sealed the Orioles’ dramatic comeback.
Dodgers’ Struggles Continue
The Dodgers’ collapse marked their fifth straight loss, missing another chance to widen the gap in the NL West over the second-place San Diego Padres, who are also struggling.
“It completely flipped,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, admitting the team squandered the momentum built from Yamamoto’s stellar outing.
A Historic Night at Camden Yards
The Orioles, despite a disappointing season, delivered what many are calling their biggest win of the year. The timing could not have been more fitting:
-
The team was celebrating the 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,131st consecutive game that broke Lou Gehrig’s record in 1995.
-
On the same date in 1996, Eddie Murray hit his 500th career home run at Camden Yards.
For a moment, it seemed Yamamoto might add his name to that September 6 legacy with a no-hitter. Instead, the Orioles’ unforgettable rally ensured the night belonged to Baltimore.
