Orioles Complete Walk-Off Series Sweep Over Dodgers Amidst Five-Game Los Angeles Skid

The Baltimore Orioles secured a dramatic walk-off 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking a nearly complete no-hitter bid by Dodgers' ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the ninth inning. Jackson Holliday's solo home run ended the no-hit attempt, sparking a four-run rally in the Orioles' final inning, capped by Emmanuel Rivera's two-run single and Jorge Mateo's winning run. This victory marked the Orioles' third consecutive walk-off win against the Dodgers and extended their five-game winning streak, showcasing the resilience of a team fighting for their careers under interim manager Tony Mansolino. Meanwhile, the Dodgers, despite leading the National League West, have struggled on a road trip, losing five straight games and blowing a late-game lead due to bullpen failures, which has frustrated both fans and manager Dave Roberts. The loss tightened the NL West race as the San Diego Padres closed the gap, raising pressure on the Dodgers to break their losing streak in the series finale. The Orioles' comeback highlighted the unpredictable nature of baseball, especially for a team that had a tough start to their season but has since been playing well.
