Dylan Beavers hits a 2-run homer as the Orioles beat the White Sox 3-1
The Baltimore Orioles secured a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, with Dylan Beavers leading the charge with a crucial two-run homer in the fourth inning. This win marked a significant moment for Beavers, one of Baltimore’s top prospects, as he celebrated his third career homer by donning a Baltimore Ravens helmet in the dugout.
Tyler Wells delivered a strong performance on the mound, pitching six effective innings and allowing just one run and four hits. Wells, who recently returned to the team after undergoing elbow surgery in June 2024, demonstrated his resilience and skill in shutting down the White Sox lineup.
The White Sox tried to mount a comeback with Mike Tauchman’s solo homer in the fourth inning, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Orioles’ lead. Martín Pérez struggled on the mound, surrendering three runs and five hits in just 3 2/3 innings before exiting the game due to left shoulder soreness.
The Orioles took an early lead in the first inning, with Gunnar Henderson’s base-running and Jeremiah Jackson’s RBI single contributing to their advantage. Tauchman’s homer provided a brief spark for the White Sox, but Baltimore’s pitching staff, including Yaramil Hiraldo, Rico Garcia, and Keegan Akin, held firm to secure the win.
Akin closed out the game with a strong ninth inning, retiring the White Sox batters in order to earn his seventh save of the season. The Orioles showcased their speed and aggressiveness on the base paths, tying a franchise record with seven stolen bases in a single game.
Looking ahead, the Orioles will send LHP Cade Povich to the mound to face the New York Yankees on Thursday night, while the White Sox will turn to RHP Davis Martin to take on the San Diego Padres on Friday.
In conclusion, the Orioles’ victory over the White Sox was a testament to their young talent and resilience on both sides of the ball. With key contributions from Beavers, Wells, and their bullpen, Baltimore continues to show promise for the future of the franchise.
