Orioles Victors, 5-2, at Cleveland
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Guardians, 5-2. Baltimore pitcher and El Paso, Texas, native Alfredo Flores led the way. Jung-ho Chang collected his 6th save. The Guardians fall to 10-12 and continue their wobbly start to the 2026 season.

The tension was thick in the bottom of the fifth inning. With the bases loaded and Cleveland trailing 5-0, Alfredo Flores had to get a big out. On a 1-0 fastball, he retired Bob Seppings, who popped out.
