Orioles Sweep Angels Behind Gary Sanchez Grand Slam

The Baltimore Orioles completed a three-game sweep against the Los Angeles Angels with an 11-2 victory, powered by a seventh-inning grand slam from Gary Sanchez, who homered for the second consecutive day after returning from injury. Orioles hitters Ramon Urias and Jordan Westburg also contributed home runs, while five Baltimore pitchers combined to allow only five hits in the game. Cade Povich earned the win by pitching 3 2/3 scoreless innings, supported by relief pitchers who shut out the Angels in the final innings. The Angels scored first with a Nolan Schanuel home run but were outmatched as the Orioles consistently added runs through a mix of hits, errors, and productive at-bats. Sanchez’s return has been impactful despite his low batting average this season, demonstrating timely hitting that helped Baltimore win four of its last five games. The series saw strong pitching and offense from the Orioles, who have swept three of their last five series, underscoring their recent momentum.
