Pete Alonso Helps Power Orioles Past Marlins
Pete Alonso’s three-run homer and Adley Rutschman’s two RBI doubles powered Baltimore’s comeback after Miami tied the game in the first inning.
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Miami Marlins 7-4 in Miami, securing their second consecutive win of the three-game series.
Pete Alonso powered the offense with a three-run homer traveling 407 feet in the first inning, extending his dominance against the Marlins with 33 home runs in 105 games.
Adley Rutschman added two RBI doubles, Dylan Beavers reclaimed the lead with a fourth-inning ground-rule double, and Blaze Alexander drove in a run with an eighth-inning triple.
After allowing three runs in the opening frame, Orioles pitcher Brandon Young held the Marlins scoreless for five innings, while Rico Garcia earned his second save.
Seeking a three-game sweep Thursday, Baltimore will start Orioles LHP Cade Povich against Marlins RHP Max Meyer following a four-game series sweep by the Yankees in New York.
