The Orioles looked like they might be the victim of a no-hitter on Tuesday night, but they waited for Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer to exit the game, then rallied to score their sixth straight victory before an announced 26,348 at Camden Yards.
Scherzer carried the no-hit bid into the sixth inning and the Nationals carried a two-run lead into the ninth, but the O’s forced the game into extra innings and scored a 5-4 victory, which gave them the best record in the major leagues at 22-10.
Mark Trumbo finally ended it in the bottom of the 12th inning with a line drive down the left-field line that gave them a sweep of the home half of four-game interleague rivalry series with the first-place Nats.
