Baltimore overcame an early deficit against Philadelphia, sparked by a pivotal four-run outburst in the seventh inning. The Orioles rallied to seize the lead for good, completing a significant comeback.

The Phillies took an initial lead in the first, as Harper singled to score Turner, who had reached base. Marsh followed with a groundout that allowed Schwarber to cross the plate, giving Philadelphia a two-run advantage. Baltimore quickly countered in the bottom half of the inning when Alonso connected for a two-run home run, knotting the score. Turner's solo blast in the third then put the Phillies back on top, and Realmuto extended that lead with another solo homer in the sixth.
