Prediction markets put the probability at 46%: Baltimore Orioles vs. Miami Marlins. Currently, markets are divided (46% YES, 54% NO). Rutschman's go-ahead, pinch-hit single in ninth helps lift Orioles past Marlins 9-7.
The Baltimore Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak with a dramatic 9-7 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at loanDepot park. Catcher Adley Rutschman delivered a go-ahead, pinch-hit single in the top of the ninth inning, followed by a run-scoring single from Leody Taveras, to break a 7-7 tie. The win was fueled by Basallo, who drove in four runs, and Alonso, who doubled, walked twice, and scored four times. The Orioles' bullpen held the Marlins scoreless in the final frame, with Andrew Kittredge earning the save after allowing a one-out single to Miami rookie Joe Mack. [San Francisco Chronicle, May 6]
The outcome carries significant weight for both clubs as they navigate early-season struggles. The Orioles entered the series having lost four straight games, including a demoralizing 11-5 defeat to the Houston Astros and a sweep by the New York Yankees. The Marlins, meanwhile, had dropped three of four in their previous series and saw their rookie catcher Liam Hicks go 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs in a losing effort. The victory moves Baltimore to 19-22 on the season, while Miami falls to 17-24, deepening the gap in the National League East standings. [Deadspin, May 6]
Looking ahead, the Baltimore Orioles vs. Miami Marlins series continues with two more games at loanDepot park. The Orioles will aim to build on Tuesday's momentum and climb back toward .500, while the Marlins seek to avoid a third consecutive series loss. Pitching matchups for the remainder of the series have not yet been announced, but both teams are expected to rely on their bullpens heavily after Tuesday's high-scoring affair. The Orioles' offense, which scored nine runs for the first time in over two weeks, will look to sustain its production against a Marlins staff that has struggled with consistency. [Deadspin, May 5]
