The Orioles were four outs away from a disastrous sweep in Milwaukee, which would have been their first time being swept in over a year. The offensive slump was ongoing, making the early damage done by some spotty defense feel insurmountable. They were on the way to destruction, and then, suddenly, they weren’t. With five runs scored between the eighth and ninth innings, the O’s turned the game around into what is for this team a comfortable three-run victory.
The story of the game was one of redemption for Gunnar Henderson. He was on the hook to be the guy to take a big portion of the blame for a loss.
