Orioles Extend Walk-Off Streak With Beavers’ 10th-Inning Hit Vs Pirates

The Baltimore Orioles have been on a remarkable run of late-inning comebacks, securing four walk-off wins in five games, including a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in 10 innings thanks to rookie Dylan Beavers' first career walk-off single. Despite being out of playoff contention, the Orioles are using the season's end to evaluate emerging players like Beavers and Samuel Basallo, who have both delivered clutch hits recently. The pitching duel on Wednesday featured Paul Skenes, who struck out eight in five innings with a majors-best 1.92 ERA, though he was pulled early as the Pirates are managing his workload. Orioles pitchers Tyler Wells and the bullpen combined to limit the Pirates to minimal offense, with Wells showing promise in his second start after injury. The Orioles continue to demonstrate resilience and competitive spirit, with interim manager Tony Mansolino praising the team’s effort and determination despite the disappointing season record. These performances offer optimism for Baltimore's rebuilding efforts heading into 2026.
