Win Makes Orioles 12-11
Joaquín Pérez was a major factor in the 6-5 Baltimore win over Kansas City. The Orioles left fielder went 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Tristan Dailey earned the win for Baltimore. He lasted 5.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 8. With the win, he raised his record to 2-1. The Royals fall to 8-15 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2026 season.

With Baltimore leading 5-1 in the top of the fifth, Pérez came up to bat against Kansas City pitcher Juan Garza. Pérez hit a cutter to left for a solo home run. His 1st home run of the season put the Orioles on top, 6-1.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Pérez. "You've got to get results."
