O’s win series on wild Rutschman walk-off

The red-hot Orioles catcher belted a walk-off house run within the backside of the ninth inning on Thursday afternoon, lifting Baltimore to an 8-7 win over Oakland at Camden Yards. It was the fourth house run of the season for Rutschman, who went deep for the third time in 5 video games.

Rutschman’s first profession walk-off homer got here on the second pitch delivered by A’s right-hander Trevor May, who left a 93.2 mph four-seam fastball out over the center of the plate. Rutschman blasted the heater a Statcast-projected 405 ft over the right-center-field wall.

Rutschman, who has began each sport at both catcher or designated hitter throughout Baltimore’s 7-6 begin, is batting .373 this season.
