tied the game at 3 in the third inning with his first home run in 80 at-bats, but both offenses were silenced until the sixth inning when Orioles catcher Francisco Pena overthrew Manny Machado at third in a pickoff attempt allowing two runs to score.

Benintendi launched another home run in the seventh inning and followed with an RBI single in the ninth.

Despite pushing Sale to throw 39 pitches in the first inning, the Orioles bats went silent for the rest of the game. Sale only gave up two hits after the first inning before exiting the game after six innings.
