ANAHEIM (Interstat) — Samuel Basallo homered twice and drove in four runs, but the Los Angeles Angels rallied from a three-run deficit in the eighth inning and completed a comeback with two runs in the bottom of the 10th to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 on Wednesday afternoon at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

The Orioles grabbed an early lead with a two-run second inning and a three-run third, only to see the Angels erase a 5-2 deficit with three runs in the eighth. After Baltimore pushed across a run in the top of the 10th, the Angels answered with two in the bottom half, capitalizing on a critical error by Orioles pitcher Keegan Akin.

Baltimore struck first in the second inning. Pete Alonso led off with a single and Basallo followed by launching his 11th home run of the season to right-center field, giving the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Coby Mayo followed with a single, but the inning ended with three straight strikeouts and a walk that went nowhere.

The visitors extended the lead in the third. Leody Taveras walked, then Alonso doubled to left to score Taveras. Basallo then hit his second homer of the afternoon, a two-run shot to right, his 12th of the season, making it 5-0. Colton Cowser singled but was left stranded.

Meanwhile, Orioles starter Trey Gibson worked efficiently through the early innings. He allowed only a two-run homer to Jorge Soler in the first inning and scattered three hits over four innings, striking out five and walking two. After Soler’s blast scored Wade Meckler, the Angels did not threaten again until the sixth, when they put two runners on but failed to score.

Baltimore’s bullpen took over after Gibson departed. Tyler Wells pitched 1⅓ scoreless innings, striking out four and allowing one hit, while Rico Garcia entered for the eighth inning but struggled. Garcia gave up a leadoff double to Donovan Walton, then after a popout and a strikeout, Vaughn Grissom singled to left to drive in Walton, cutting the lead to 5-3. Nolan Schanuel walked, Denzer Guzman walked to load the bases, and Meckler singled to right, scoring two runs and tying the game at 5. Soler struck out to end the inning.

The game remained tied through the ninth after both teams went quietly. Orioles closer Ryan Helsley pitched a scoreless bottom of the ninth, striking out one.

Extra innings brought drama. In the top of the 10th, with the automatic runner Blaze Alexander at second, Taylor Ward singled to put runners at the corners. Gunnar Henderson reached on a fielder’s choice that saw Alexander thrown out at home on a challenge that was upheld, leaving runners at first and second. Leody Taveras flied out, but Alonso singled to right, scoring Ward to give Baltimore a 6-5 lead. Basallo struck out to end the inning.

The bottom of the 10th began with Oswald Peraza as the automatic runner at second. Keegan Akin took the mound for the Orioles. Zach Neto struck out swinging. Vaughn Grissom flied out to right, moving Peraza to third. Then came the decisive play: Nolan Schanuel reached on a missed catch error by Akin, allowing Peraza to score and tying the game. Schanuel advanced to third on the play. Logan O’Hoppe then singled softly to catcher Samuel Basallo, but the ball got through, scoring Schanuel and giving the Angels a 7-6 walk-off victory.

The win went to Angels reliever Chase Silseth, who improved to 3-1 after pitching a scoreless 10th inning while allowing one hit and striking out one. Akin took the loss, falling to 0-1, after giving up two unearned runs in two-thirds of an inning.

Basallo finished the afternoon 2 for 5 with two home runs and four RBIs, accounting for all of Baltimore’s run production. Taylor Ward also went 2 for 5 with a double. Pete Alonso had two hits, including a double and a single, and drove in two runs. For the Angels, Wade Meckler had two hits and two RBIs, while Soler homered and drove in two. The Angels had eight hits to Baltimore’s nine.

The game completed a three-game series split for the Orioles, who won the opener Monday 6-1 and lost Tuesday 5-1 before Wednesday’s extra-inning heartbreaker. Baltimore fell to 38-44, while the Angels improved to 34-48.

The most pivotal sequence occurred in the bottom of the eighth inning with the Orioles leading 5-2. Rico Garcia, who had been sharp in recent outings, could not find the strike zone consistently. After a double by Walton, a strikeout and a single by Grissom cut the lead to two. Two walks loaded the bases, and Meckler’s two-run single tied the game. The rally erased what had been a comfortable lead and set up the tense extra-inning finish.

Baltimore had threatened to break the game open in the fourth when Taylor Ward doubled and Gunnar Henderson was hit by a pitch, but Leody Taveras grounded into a double play. The Orioles had only one hit after the third inning until the 10th.

The Angels’ bullpen, which had been a trouble spot, held Baltimore to one run over the final five innings after starter José Soriano departed following the third inning. Soriano allowed five runs on six hits over three innings.
