Orioles-host-Dodgers clash headlines the night as Cal Ripken Jr.’s 30th Iron Man anniversary is celebrated and Trevor Rogers eyes another big win for Baltimore. Rogers has been dominant in August, yielding one earned run in every start and posting a 1.39 ERA through his first 14 outings, boosting Baltimore’s mark to 11-3 in his starts and 4-1 at Camden Yards. Yamamoto, Dodgers’ top spark, is an unknown commodity for Baltimore at home, setting the stage for Basallo’s late heroics and a matchup that leans Orioles’ way as they chase a series win.

Rogers’ August surge contrasts with Yamamoto’s steady Dodgers form; Freddie Freeman is the one Los Angeles hitter with multiple knocks off Rogers, making him a key player for the Dodgers’ offense. Basallo’s Camden Yards walk-off caps a mini-resurgence for Baltimore’s young bats, while the night’s celebration adds emotional juice to a game that could tilt the season series. The Orioles’ lineup features a mix of youth and steadiness as they aim to extend the series win against the reigning champs.
