MLB: Yamamoto's strong start undone, Dodgers rally for 6-5 win on opponent's throwing error

The Los Angeles Dodgers staged a dramatic ninth-inning comeback to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5, extending their winning streak to four games. The Dodgers initially took a 3-0 lead in the second inning thanks to RBIs from Max Muncy and Andy Pages. Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar performance through the first five innings, retiring 13 consecutive batters and allowing only one hit. However, the Orioles struck back in the sixth inning. Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run home run, followed immediately by a solo shot from Pete Alonso, tying the game at 3-3 and forcing Yamamoto out of the game. The Orioles then took a 5-3 lead in the seventh inning after the Dodgers' bullpen faltered. In the bottom of the ninth, Mookie Betts ignited the Dodgers' rally with a solo homer, narrowing the deficit to one run. With two outs and runners on first and second, Dalton Rushing hit a game-tying single. The decisive run scored on a wild throwing error by Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill as he attempted to retrieve Rushing's hit, allowing the Dodgers to secure the victory at home.
