The losing streak is finally over! Though at times it seemed during Thursday’s 9-6 marathon win over the Yankees that the Orioles were determined to blow it and go down in flames for the seventh straight game, when push came to shove, Anthony Santander delivered a walkoff home run over the fence in the left field corner to send everybody home happy. They did it.
In a little bit different of a version of today’s game, the team might have never needed the walkoff hit. They had the Yankees down to their last out - their last two strikes, really - with a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth before a cheapo opposite field base hit by DJ LeMahieu fell in, scoring the tying run from second base.
