Rutschman’s Two-Homer Return Powers Red Sox Past Orioles, 6-5

Boston erased a two-run deficit with five runs across the final four innings, then held off Baltimore after a ninth-inning push.

Final: Boston Red Sox 6 — 5 Baltimore Orioles

Adley Rutschman homered twice and scored three runs as the Boston Red Sox rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Baltimore led after four innings, but Boston scored in the sixth, seventh and eighth to take control. The Orioles answered with two runs in the ninth, yet the Red Sox preserved the one-run victory and improved to 76-65.

Rutschman supplied the defining offensive performance, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, two RBIs and three runs scored. Nick Sogard also went deep for Boston, driving in two runs, while the Red Sox received two hit-by-pitches that helped extend their offensive opportunities. Boston’s five-run surge from the sixth through the eighth transformed a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 lead before the teams traded runs in the ninth.

The starting pitchers kept the game tight early. Baltimore’s Brandon Young worked 6.2 innings with seven strikeouts and a 3.42 ERA, while Boston’s Jake Bennett delivered six innings and seven strikeouts with a 3.34 ERA. Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Pete Alonso each homered for the Orioles and drove in two runs, but Baltimore could not protect its late lead after Boston’s middle innings adjustment. Erik Miller added a scoreless inning with two strikeouts for the Red Sox, reinforcing the bullpen’s role in closing a game that remained within one swing until the final out.

Boston leaves Baltimore with a comeback win that reflects both its lineup depth and its ability to pressure a game late. The Orioles, now 69-72, received enough power production to win but surrendered the decisive momentum between the sixth and eighth innings. For the Red Sox, Rutschman’s two-homer night gives the club a clear offensive centerpiece as it continues its push through the final stretch of the season.
