Ryan McKenna’s walk-off homer in 10th gives Orioles dramatic 6-4 win over Mariners

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 22:46:22 GMT

It took a series of events for Ryan McKenna to be standing in the batter’s box at Camden Yards in the bottom of Saturday’s 10th inning, many of which did not go the Orioles’ way.But the ends sometimes justify the means, with McKenna’s two-run walk-off homer giving Baltimore a 6-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners.McKenna had entered the game in the top of the ninth as a defensive replacement in right field for Anthony Santander, who was originally set to be the Orioles’ designated hitter in Cedric Mullins’ first game off the injured list. But with rain passing through Baltimore before the game, manager Brandon Hyde tweaked his defensive positioning. Mullins went to DH, Aaron Hicks slid from right to center, and Santander went out to right.Both Hicks and Santander (4-for-4 with two RBIs) homered in a back-and-forth game, with Seattle’s four runs each coming on a solo shot, the last being Mike Ford’s second of the afternoon with two outs...

The Phillies tied the game and the Mets pushed back.Max Scherzer tossed six innings in a gritty, 107-pitch performance the Mets (35-41) badly needed. The ace cruised through the first three innings before running into trouble in the third with a leadoff home run by Nick Castellanos. The damage was minimal, but the Mets’ lead was cut in half, 2-1.

The rebellious Russian mercenary commander who ordered his troops to march on Moscow before abruptly reversing course will move to neighboring Belarus and not face prosecution, the Kremlin said Saturday, as part of a deal to defuse a crisis that represented the most significant challenge to President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power.The charges against Yevgeny Prigozhin for mounting an armed rebellion will be dropped and the troops who joined him also will not be prosecuted, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced, and fighters from his Wagner Group who did not take part in the uprising will be offered contracts by the Defense Ministry.Putin had vowed to punish those behind the armed uprising led by his onetime protege, whose forces seized a key military facility in southern Russia before advancing on the capital.
