Olson's 10th-Inning HR Lifts Braves Past Orioles
Matt Olson hit his 27th home run, a three-run shot in the 10th, giving the Braves a 7-6 extra-inning win over the Orioles. The Braves improved to 6-2 since the All-Star break thanks to late-inning rallies, with Drake Baldwin delivering a tying homer in the eighth and Elieser Hernández pitching three scoreless innings in relief. Ronald Acuña Jr. was sidelined with a hamstring strain and not in the lineup. Baltimore's Christian Encarnacion-Strand homered and drove in four; Joey Bart started the 10th with a key hit before Olson's decisive blast. Baldwin's eighth-inning homer and the Orioles' late resilience kept the game tense, but Olson's 10th-inning blast sealed the win. The Braves and Orioles highlighted notable performances from Baldwin and Encarnacion-Strand as Baltimore's offense responded late.
