The Baltimore Orioles made an early statement in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, riding a dominant pitching performance from Trevor Rogers and a clutch three-RBI outburst from Coby Mayo to cruise past the Phillies, 5-1. Rogers stifled a dangerous Phillies lineup over six masterful innings, allowing just one run on eight hits while striking out six—his lone blemish coming on Trea Turner’s RBI single in the third. The Orioles’ offense, meanwhile, struck early and often, with Mayo’s two-run single in the second and solo homer in the fourth proving decisive. Adley Rutschman and Jeremiah Jackson each added key hits as Baltimore’s balanced attack overwhelmed Phillies starter Ranger Suárez, who surrendered five runs in 6⅓ innings.

Philadelphia’s bats never found their rhythm, with Schwarber, Harper, and Castellanos combining to go 1-for-12 with six strikeouts. The loss snaps a three-game win streak for the Phillies, while the Orioles continue their midseason surge behind Rogers’ resurgence (1.44 ERA) and Mayo’s timely power. For Baltimore, it’s another statement win against a contender—proof their young core is ready for October. The Phillies, meanwhile, will need more from their stars if they hope to hold off the surging Braves in the NL East.
