Orioles Score Late to Nip Royals, 4-3
Baltimore Orioles starter Shohei Ohtani pitched a strong game against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, leading the Orioles to victory, 4-3. Robbie Ray got credit for the win, improving to 1-1. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. Picking up the save was 31-year old right-handed pitcher Phil Maton.

Baltimore took a 4-3 lead on Travis d'Arnaud's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which d'Arnaud hit in the top of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Liam Hendriks visibly frustrated.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Orioles manager Doc D. "This one was nice to get."

The Royals fall to 9-12 and continue their rocky start to the 2024 season.
