Jackson’s Three-Run Homer in Eighth Inning Lifts Orioles to 6‑4 Comeback Win Over Guardians
CLEVELAND (Interstat) — Jeremiah Jackson’s three-run homer capped a six-run eighth inning as the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 6-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night at Progressive Field.
The Orioles, held to one hit through six innings by starter Tanner Bibee, erupted after Daniel Schneemann’s grand slam gave Cleveland a 4-0 lead in the seventh. Baltimore sent 10 men to the plate in the eighth against Cleveland’s bullpen. A sacrifice fly by Johnathan Rodríguez and a two-run double by pinch-hitter Weston Wilson set the stage for Jackson’s go-ahead blast off Erik Sabrowski (0-1).
Rico Garcia (2-0) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Ryan Helsley pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save. Attendance was 23,988. The Orioles evened their record at 10-10, while the Guardians fell to 11-10.
