The Orioles had their ace on the mound and were trending toward a sweep when one big swing from the Washington Nationals reversed the score. Baltimore never got a big swing of its own, but in the bottom of the ninth, several little ones added up.
After hitting his first career home run earlier in the game, Ryan McKenna raced home from third to score on pinch-hitter Ramón Urías’ grounder to give the Orioles a 5-4 victory Sunday for a three-game sweep over their regional rival. An inning earlier, they had gotten their first two men on but stranded the tying run at third.
