BALTIMORE — From the verge of historical past, to the depths of horror.
The type of unimaginable nightmare even these slumping Dodgers didn’t appear able to.
One minute, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was on the precipice of a no-hitter, needing only one out to place his title within the file books. The following, orange Baltimore Orioles jerseys have been sprinting across the bases, what had appeared like a storybook night time going abruptly incorrect.
Yamamoto’s no-hitter was damaged up by Jackson Holliday, who hit a homer to proper that pushed Yamamoto out of the sport. The true hassle got here in all that adopted, with Blake Treinen giving up one run whereas loading the bases, earlier than Emmanuel Rivera lofted a two-run single off Tanner Scott to finish the sport.
The ultimate rating was Orioles 4, Dodgers 3.
The way in which it occurred was virtually not possible to grasp.
Granted, the Dodgers have been inventing new methods to lose video games for some time now. However nothing stung as brutally as this.
After Yamamoto’s exit, Treinen instantly put himself in a jam. Jeremiah Jackson hit a double to left. Gunnar Henderson was hit by a pitch. One other throw from Treinen then went to the backstop. And a stroll to Ryan Mountcastle loaded the bases.
Although Scott was starting to heat, supervisor Dave Roberts left in Treinen to face Colton Cowser. The transfer didn’t work, with Treinen issuing one other stroll to drive a run in.
At that time, Scott entered the sport, one night time faraway from giving up a walk-off residence run that ran the Dodgers’ dropping streak to 4 video games. And in a 1-and-1 depend to Rivera, he threw a low fastball that was lined into middle.
The profitable runs got here racing residence. A sellout crowd at Camden Yards — in attendance for the thirtieth anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s Ironman second — broke into delirium. The Dodgers walked off the sphere slowly, stoically, surprised.
