Despite leading for most of the evening, a rare bad night for Orioles closer Félix Bautista ultimately sunk the AL East leaders. Kyle Tucker launched a ninth inning grand slam to lift the visiting Astros to a 7-6 win at Camden Yards on Tuesday night.
This one hurts because the Orioles did so many things right, appeared in control for most of the game, and it was their most dominant player that faltered late.
The O’s jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the game’s first two innings, against a Cy Young contender in Framber Valdez no less.
