Orioles Keep Hopes Alive

Orioles defeat Guardians 6-4 to spark late-season playoff push behind Coby Mayo.

Orioles beat Cleveland Guardians 6-4, opening a must-win series after a Labor Day victory. The Orioles, who are currently three games back of the third wild-card spot in the American League, have 17 games remaining this season and have a 2.8% chance to make the postseason, according to FanGraphs. The team's offense, led by Coby Mayo's two home runs and Trevor Rogers' dominance, performed well in a 7 1/3 innings against the Guardians, marking the team's first win in a week. Despite this win, the Orioles are still considered longshots to reach October due to their six-game losing streak. Félé Bautista's return to the field is not imminent for the team, pending a five-game rehabilitation assignment for him.
