Gunnar Henderson's impressive performance continued as the Baltimore Orioles secured a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Henderson's three hits and three RBIs played a crucial role in the Orioles' triumph, despite Mike Trout's historic 10th home run of the season.
Henderson, batting leadoff for the second consecutive day, set the tone for Baltimore with a solo homer in the third inning. His eighth home run of the season placed him second in the American League. Adley Rutschman contributed with two hits and an RBI, marking his 12th multihit game of the year.
The Orioles took an early 6-0 lead, but the Angels staged a late rally. Trout's solo shot in the sixth ignited the comeback, followed by homers from Taylor Ward and Zach Neto. In the ninth inning, Ehire Adrianza's infield single and Logan O'Hoppe's grounder brought the Angels within a run.
However, Orioles closer Craig Kimbrell preserved the victory with a strikeout of Jo Adell, who was caught stealing second. Kimbrell's 424th career save tied him with John Franco for sixth on the all-time list.
Dean Kremer pitched 5 2/3 innings for the Orioles, allowing only three hits and two runs while striking out 10. Tyler Anderson started for the Angels, surrendering two runs and four hits in five innings.
The Orioles will return home for a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics, with Corbin Burnes scheduled to start Friday night. The Angels will host the Minnesota Twins in a weekend series, with Patrick Sandoval taking the mound in the opener.
