The Orioles scored twice in the 10th inning and held on for a 4-3 victory over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park. Baltimore built an early 2-0 lead, surrendered three unanswered runs from the seventh through the 10th, then answered in the extra frame to take the game back. Brandon Young supplied the foundation with seven innings of three-hit? Wait factual no hits not supplied. 4 strikeouts and only? Can't say three-hit. Need fix. The data says no hits allowed. Let's regenerate entirely.

Baltimore established control in the second inning with two runs, then relied on Young to protect the narrow advantage. The right-hander worked seven innings and struck out four while mixing his pitches effectively, giving the Orioles length and keeping the Athletics from building sustained pressure. Jacob Lopez matched him with five innings and six strikeouts, but Baltimore’s early cushion survived until the late innings.

The Athletics finally moved in front with one run in the seventh, another in the eighth and a third in the 10th. Zack Gelof provided two hits and an RBI in a productive night for Oakland, while Coby Mayo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run for Baltimore. The decisive difference came in the 10th, when the Orioles scored twice to turn a 3-2 deficit into the final 4-3 margin; their pitching then closed the door without allowing the Athletics to answer.

The win moved Baltimore to 66-69 and kept the Orioles alive in a tightly contested late-season race, with Young’s seven-inning outing especially valuable for a club operating on a long schedule. Oakland fell to 53-82 despite solid work from Lopez and its relief corps, and the late collapse underscored how little margin remains for the Athletics in close games. Baltimore leaves Sutter Health Park with the more important takeaway: it converted a narrow opportunity in extra innings instead of letting another winnable game slip away.
