The Angels' offense was particularly effective, with the bottom four batters each recording two hits. Logan O'Hoppe and Jo Adell also contributed significantly, both maintaining a .324 batting average for the season. The Orioles' Gunnar Henderson managed a sacrifice fly, but it was not enough to overcome the Angels' lead.

having 7 homegrown hitters (plus the SP) with star upside in a starting lineup is a tremendous organizational achievment for Baltimore and yet the best part is that the 3-4 hitters are still an epic late-career breakout and a Rule 5 pick https://t.co/7YsfuRn7oF

Kjerstad in right field tonight in Orioles' homegrown-heavy lineup https://t.co/GX6reM6U4t #orioles
I made a point that 8 of 10 players in the Orioles starting lineup tonight at Anaheim are homegrown O’s draftees. Well, 8 of 10 in AAA Norfolk’s lineup tonight are also homegrown O’s draftees. That’s pretty stunning for an org that struggled to develop players for years. https://t.co/nwBBJVoij7
8 of 10 on the field tonight are homegrown Orioles --- Henderson - No. 42, 2019 Rutschman - 1/1 in 2019 ROHearn - trade KC ASantander - Rule 5, '16 Mullins - Rnd 13, 2015 Cowser - No. 5 in 2021 Westburg - No. 30, 2020 Kjerstad - No 2, 2020 Holliday - 1/1 in 2022 GR, No. 11, 2018
Now that’s a homegrown lineup. 8 of 10 Oriole draftees. 6 first rounders (plus the first pick of the second round). Nine have played only with the Orioles as a big leaguer (O’Hearn the only exception). https://t.co/Z8NWa7n0s4
FINAL: The Angels lose 4-2 to the Orioles. They have lost 5 games in a row. LAA had the tying runs on first/third with 0 outs in the ninth, but didn't get anything. Brandon Drury didn't get used as a PH. Reid Detmers was good over 7 IP. The Angels are 9-14.
He gets Trout on a 5-3 groundout. So they take a 4-2 lead to the 8th in Anaheim. https://t.co/kEPCroRT6M
