ORIOLES POSTCAST: Baltimore Orioles collapse late vs New York Yankees in unfocused drama as skid hits three

The Orioles had this one tied late, then everything unraveled. Baltimore dropped its third straight game and the first two games of the Yankees series at Camden Yards, falling 5-3 after a brutal eighth-inning breakdown. Cam Sanders lost command in a tie game, hitting two Yankees and walking another before Yennier Cano inherited a bases-loaded, two-out mess. A perfectly placed infield chopper and a wild splitter later, the O’s suddenly trailed by two. Luke Slabaugh breaks down the Orioles’ late-game collapse, including: Why the eighth inning felt like the Orioles losing focus at the worst possible time Cam Sanders’ command issues and the costly bases-loaded sequence The George Lombard Jr. infield hit that put New York ahead Yohel Pozo’s wild-pitch sequence that allowed the insurance run Pete Alonso’s controversial seventh-inning foul-ball review and why it changed the game Chris Bassitt settling in after a shaky start to give Baltimore a chance Opposite-field homers from Pete Alonso and Dylan Beavers Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday’s aggressive double steal, including Holliday stealing home Samuel Basallo’s strong return at first base The Orioles going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position for the second straight night.
