What did Orioles do in ninth to win?

Orioles rally with five in the ninth

The Baltimore Orioles overturned a late deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5, scoring five runs in the ninth inning.

The finish came on a dramatic, game-ending moment: Pete Alonso delivered a walk-off single that scored the winning run with the bases loaded, capping the Orioles’ surge.

What made the late inning especially significant is how the inning unfolded in sequence—Baltimore didn’t just add one run. It broke through for four runs during the ninth to take control, then completed the comeback with Alonso’s walk-off hit. That swing erased any progress Toronto had built earlier, including a game situation where the Jays had held a four-run lead in the ninth before things unraveled.

The implication for both teams is straightforward: in one-run and late-inning baseball, a five-run ninth is the kind of result that can flip series momentum immediately. For Toronto, it’s a reminder that late bullpen and defensive execution can decide games even when the offense looked in control earlier.
