Braves-Orioles walk‑off series

Entities: Ozzie Albies · Baltimore Orioles · Atlanta Braves · Walt Weiss · Gunnar Henderson

Overview

The July series between Atlanta and Baltimore continued its dramatic pace. After the Braves rallied for a 7‑6, 10th‑inning walk‑off win on July 24 thanks to Matt Olson’s three‑run homer—his 27th of the season and set up by a bases‑loaded jam and a Joey Bart bloop single—Baltimore answered with a 3‑2 walk‑off victory on July 25 when rookie Dylan Beavers singled home the winning run, pulling the Orioles to within 2½ games of an AL wild‑card spot. The series concluded the next day with Atlanta edging Baltimore 3‑2 in the 11th inning; Austin Riley delivered the go‑ahead RBI double, and an intentional walk loaded the bases to help preserve the lead. Reynaldo López threw 5 2/3 shutout innings for the Braves, marking their eighth win in the last 11 games and keeping them atop the NL East. Meanwhile, Braves pitcher Grant Holmes shared a birthday message to his wife on Instagram, a personal note highlighted in coverage. Star Ronald Acuña Jr. remained on the injured list.
