Jeremiah Jackson hits 3-run homer in 8th inning as Orioles rally for 6-4 win
over Guardians

CLEVELAND (AP) --- Jeremiah Jackson's three-run homer capped Baltimore's
six-run outburst in the eighth inning against Cleveland's bullpen, sending the
Orioles to a 6-4 win over the Guardians on Friday night.
The Orioles' rally came after Daniel Schneemann hit a grand slam to give
Cleveland a 4-0 lead in the seventh.
But Guardians' reliever Scott Armstrong couldn't get an out, giving up two
walks and hitting a batter before being pulled. Johnathan Rodrguez's sacrifice
fly off Erik Sabrowski (0-1) made it 4-1 and pinch hitter Weston Wilson roped a
two-run double to get the Orioles within one.
Sabrowski struck out Coby Mayo before giving way for Connor Brogdon to face
Jackson, whose fielding error at second helped set up Cleveland' four-run
seventh. Jackson then pulled a 1-0 fastball over the wall in left for his fifth
homer.
Rico Garcia (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. Ryan Helsley worked the
ninth for his sixth save.
With the score tied 0-0, Schneemann connected on a 0-1 pitch from Anthony
Nunez, driving it 407 feet into the right-field seats. The shot came after the
Guardians loaded the bases off Grant Wolfram on Jackson's error, a double and
an intentional walk.
One day after being no-hit for eight innings by Cleveland's Parker Messick, the
Orioles collected their first hit off Tanner Bibee in the first inning.
However, they couldn't string any together and stranded seven runners over the
first five.
Bibee had his best outing this season, holding the Orioles without a run over
six innings.
Orioles starter Chris Bassitt matched Bibee, blanking the Guardians for five
innings despite four walks.
Baltimore right fielder Colton Cowser stayed in after banging his right knee
into the padded wall while snagging a foul drive in the fifth.
Up next
Orioles RHP Dean Kremer (0-0, 3.60) faces Gavin Williams (2-1, 2.38), who has
29 strikeouts in his first four starts.
