Here's a look at Red Sox interim third base coach Chad Epperson going into the field of play while waving a runner home

This is probably the biggest defensive play of Jackson Holliday's career. He dives to save a run and gets the second out of the ninth inning at first base. The Orioles then go on to win the game.

Looks like Walker Buehler had some words (for seemingly no reason?) toward Leody Taveras after that flyout. Taveras started to walk out toward Buehler before being stopped by first baseman Gavin Sheets. Craig Albernaz then came out of the dugout to walk Taveras back.

Orioles reliever Rico Garcia has thrown a no-hitter across his first nine appearances this season: 9 innings 0 hits 0 runs 3 walks 10 strikeouts Incredible.

The contact play giveth, the contact play taketh away

Jackson Holliday's game-ending flyout traveled 401 feet and was caught by Rays CF Chandler Simpson on the warning track. This would've been a home run in 10 of 30 MLB parks, including Camden Yards.

Jackson Holliday is not ruled out of the baseline here because the ball had not been fielded yet and there wasn't a tag attempt until Josh Naylor caught the ball near the bag

Samuel Basallo hit a deep flyout that was originally ruled to have scored Jackson Holliday before Blaze Alexander was tagged out at 2B. But upon replay review, the call was overturned. The replay center in NYC ruled that Alexander was tagged out before Holliday touched home.

Blaze Alexander went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and this 103.1 mph double off the LF wall. This was Alexander's second rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk.

Colton Cowser does it again — and he earns loud moos from Orioles fans at Camden Yards. Baltimore's center fielder robs a two-run homer to keep the Orioles in this game. Statcast gave this ball a 65% catch probability. That metric does not include factors such as the CF wall.

Jackson Holliday, bartender

Brandon Young proving that if America's best athletes played soccer we'd win the World Cup

Samuel Basallo just hit a Eutaw Street foul ball. Give the man a plaque

An absolute laser here from Adley Rutschman to catch Jose Altuve stealing. This is an elite 1.84 pop time and 86 mph on the throw. 📽️: MASN

Pete Alonso said Coby Mayo taking this hit by pitch "like a man" is what sparked the Orioles' ninth-inning rally: "I think the huge momentum was Coby wearing one for the boys right there. He took it like a man, and that kind of fired us up in the dugout."

What an Orioles debut for Cam Sanders. Sanders, who was acquired from the Pirates in a cash trade Monday, enters with the bases loaded and one out in a 2-1 game. He then strikes out Isaac Paredes and gets Christian Walker to pop out. It's a 96 mph fastball with this slider.

A clutch catch from Colton Cowser in center field to potentially save this game. Here are the Statcast metrics on this one: 45% catch probability +4-foot jump 86 feet traveled 29 ft/sec top speed

Shane Baz on this play where he &amp; Adley Rutschman nearly collided: "I know he likes to talk about how he played football and all that, but I figured I'd just get out of the way &amp; take the out." Rutschman, in case anyone forgot, once tackled Christian McCaffrey in a college game

Heston Kjerstad since July 1: .301 BA .367 OBP .541 SLG .908 OPS He went 3-for-3 today with Triple-A Norfolk.

Fair ball hit by Pete Alonso

Tyler O’Neill is heading to the injured list with a strained rotator cuff in his right shoulder, he just said in the clubhouse. He’s going to be shut down. Timeline TBD. He strained it on this diving catch Saturday. “I’d do it again for these guys, man.”

Yankees manager Aaron Boone on the Pete Alonso foul ball: “We were unsure, and Webby [Yankees replay coordinator Brett Weber] went out and looked after the game. He wanted to get on the line and see where. So he's got it foul. Sorry, Pete. I think it was foul." 🎥: YES Network

Pete Alonso in May: .357 BA .438 OBP .893 SLG 1.330 OPS He now has a .796 OPS on the season.

Scott Boras was asked if Juan Soto’s $765M contract could cause other young stars — like Gunnar Henderson — to wait for free agency rather than sign early extensions. “I think that adage is something that yours truly has been talking about for a long time with select players.”

An absolute hose here from Samuel Basallo to catch Nico Hoerner stealing. 1.86 pop time 87.3 mph velocity

Jackson Holliday's toe tap allowed him to stay back on this Michael Wacha 2-1 changeup and hammer it into right-center field for a triple. 103.8 mph off the bat, 11.70 seconds from home to third. Holliday is .286 with an .810 OPS this season.

Here's the play. It's ruled an error on Keegan Akin, but Pete Alonso broke for the ball and wasn't able to make it to the bag in time.

Jesús Sánchez also described the incident with the young fan who struck him with a ball as a miscommunication. Sánchez said he wasn’t trying to play catch with the fan. “It was a misunderstanding. I wasn’t trying to play catch.”

The Rays have done bunting practice before both games this series. Both times, former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is overseeing the drills.

John Oliver is at Camden Yards today. Here’s a segment from one of his “Last Week Tonight” episodes in 2019 on the private equity takeover of mobile home parks. In it, Oliver uses colorful language to describe Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein, who now owns the Orioles.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said X-rays on Jesús Sánchez’s wrist came back negative. Schneider described it as a miscommunication between Sánchez and the young fan who threw ball that struck Sánchez’s wrist. “Not ideal. … Balls shouldn’t be coming into the field of play.”

Craig Albernaz was asked 6 questions about Samuel Basallo. Here’s every answer. On Basallo being on the bench: “Just doing what’s best for Sammy. Long season” Albernaz said there isn’t a “disconnect” with Basallo &amp; the catcher doesn’t believe his toughness was being questioned.

Maybe the best national anthem of all time. 103-year-old WW2 veteran crushes it, dances at the end, gets a standing ovation and then hugs a family member before walking back to his wheel chair.

This kid Gunnar Henderson is gonna be a helluva player whenever he gets promoted

Grayson Rodriguez tonight: 3.2 innings 8 hits 8 runs 3 walks 3 strikeouts Rodriguez’s past two starts were solid, but after this one, his ERA on the season is up to 10.00.

The Orioles offered Anthony Santander a 3-year contract. Was there any chance he was going to accept it? “Nah. Zero chance. Zero chance at all. They make an offer, but it wasn’t even close. We get it. We understand. It’s a business side, Mike [Elias] is really smart about it.”

A look at Orioles first-round pick Eric Booth Jr. Booth is rated as the top outfielder in the draft class. Here is how Baseball America grades his tools (20-80 scale): Hit: 55 Power: 50 Speed: 80 Field: 55 Arm: 45

Orioles fans wanted more small ball. Enter Leody Taveras. As Baltimore has won nine of its past 13 games, Taveras has laid down eight bunts — four singles and four sacrifices. On how Taveras is turning back the clock &amp; bringing small ball to Baltimore:

I just watched every contact play by the Orioles offense this year. By my count, they've had 13 of them — runner on third, corners/infield in, one out (or zero outs late/close), grounder hit &amp; fielded. The runner on third scored on seven of those 13 plays. Here are all seven:
