Henderson hits 2 homers, Orioles score 7 unanswered runs to rally past Athletics 8-5
In a dramatic finish, the Baltimore Orioles triumphed over the Athletics 8-5 on Sunday, fueled by a stellar performance from Gunnar Henderson and a dramatic comeback. Henderson, who drove in five runs, sent the game into extra innings with two home runs, including a slam that gave the Orioles the lead in the fifth inning. Coby Mayo added to the Orioles' offensive assault with a towering three-run homer in the second inning, setting the stage for a thrilling rally.
The Athletics, led by Chris Bassitt, put up a tough fight, but ultimately fell short. Henderson's performance not only propelled the Orioles to one game under .500 for the first time since April 30 but also put them one game back of the final wild-card spot in the AL.
