Lost in this, Orioles outfielder Taylor Ward was hit on the hand by a pitch. His hand was wrapped postgame but he said he's fine.
"They tested me out and no sharp pains or anything, so I should be in there tomorrow," Ward said

Orioles fans… This seems completely insane to me. But, it’s possible that
WE ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW WHO SANG “ORIOLES MAGIC”?????
Huh?!?!?
When interviewed about it in 2014, the man who wrote the song could no longer remember the name of the Nashville session singer he hired to sing on the record. 🤯
Pete Alonso on Orioles' comeback win:
"To be able to come back from down that many runs, there’s no quit in this group. And for us to rally around each other, rally around skip and really come through right there, that’ s big time. That’s big time. It shows a lot of character."
I have been extremely patient with this Orioles team for a very trying one-tenth of their 162 game season and it is gratifying to have those sacrifices finally begin to be rewarded
Tonight's Orioles-DBacks game is the third time on record to achieve this feat.
The other two:
Brewers @ Reds, May 7, 2016
Tigers @ Brewers, June 1, 2021

The Orioles had so many wild games and memorable moments during the '23 and '24 seasons while making the postseason those years.
This felt like one of those nights again at Camden Yards. Could be the first big moment of the '26 season.
The Craig Albernaz Foul Ball Game.
W!!!
9-7
What a freaking win!
A genuine team win -- but also hats off to JJ and Alonso!
And the 1st place Orioles move to 2 games over .500 for the 1st time since the last game of the 2024 season 😳
Craig Albernaz was hit in the face by a foul liner when the Orioles were trailing by 6.
Jeremiah Jackson hit a grand slam.
Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead 2-run homer.
Jackson homered again.
Ryan Helsley shut the door.
The O's beat the D-backs 9-7 to improve to 9-7.
What a night.
sorry to report you might not be able to get ahead of traffic and leave orioles games in the 7th this year
Orioles bench coach Donnie Ecker completed postgame media responsibilities. He said manager Craig Albernaz, who briefly returned to the dugout after taking a foul ball to the head, will have precautionary testing and scans
Craig Albernaz did not speak to the media postgame. Orioles bench coach Donnie Ecker took his place.
Albernaz is getting scans as a precaution. More information tomorrow.
If I were a Mets fan who was not also an Orioles fan, seeing Ryan Helsley, Anthony Nunez and Rico Garcia dominate out of the Orioles pen would probably send me to the loony bin.
Adley dubs
That’s a DUB!!!! Best win since 2024! Jeremiah Jackson took out his manager’s face & then hit 2 bombs. Pete Alonso had his first Orioles Magic moment. Uncle Rico is the man. Ryan Helsley is FILTHY. Vibes 📈👐🏻 #WinColumn #AintTheBeerCold #Birdland
Jeremiah Jackson homers again, leading off the bottom of the 8th inning with a home run.
Orioles lead D-backs 9-7. 1st career multi-homer game for Jackson.
Pete Alonso's 2nd Orioles home run is a big one.
The Polar Bear's 2-run blast gives O's an 8-7 lead in 7th.
orioles hire to me to teach these guys how to manage their emotional reactivity so they stop wasting challenges
Jeremiah Jackson again. Crazy. An infield single, grand slam and solo shot after his line drive hit manager Craig Albernaz #orioles
Just another scoreless and hitless inning for Rico Garcia. Nothing to see here. #orioles
