Absolute gut punch in Anaheim. The Orioles had this game WON — two outs in the 10th, up one — and somehow handed it away in one of the most chaotic, painful finishes of the season.
Luke Slabaugh breaks down a brutal 7-6 walk-off loss to the Angels where defensive miscues and bullpen struggles flipped everything. A routine grounder from Nolan Schanuel turns into a nightmare sequence, Keegan Akin can’t secure the out, Samuel Basallo misses a tag at the plate on a 15-footer from Logan O'Hoppe, and the O’s literally beat themselves.
We get into:
The two-out 10th inning collapse that cost Baltimore the game
Basallo’s wild night: 2 HRs… and a missed tag
7 walks from the pitching staff and a bullpen pushed too far
Trey Gibson’s uneven outing after giving up a Soler bomb
Craig Albernaz’s risky bullpen game — and why it backfired
This is the kind of loss that sticks with a team — and the kind Orioles fans won’t forget anytime soon.
If you’re as fired up (or sick) as we are, this is you...
