- Samuel Basallo went 3-for-4 with a single, double and triple and drove in four runs, then threw wide in the eighth as Esteury Ruiz stole third to let the tying run score.
- Sandy Alcantara allowed seven runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings in his shortest start of the season, while Baltimore’s Chris Bassitt yielded four runs across four innings.
- Liam Hicks produced four hits and three RBIs and paired with Otto López for back-to-back homers in the seventh to bring Miami within a run.
