The Baltimore Orioles are officially heating up in the Florida sun, securing their second consecutive victory over the Miami Marlins with a convincing 7-4 win on Wednesday night. The tone was set early when Pete Alonso reminded everyone why he’s a nightmare for Miami pitching. "The Polar Bear" unloaded a massive three-run homer in the first inning off Eury Pérez, traveling 407 feet into the left-center bleachers. While the Marlins briefly evened the score in the bottom half, the Orioles' relentless approach at the plate proved too much. Adley Rutschman continued his clutch week, driving in two more runs with a pair of doubles to keep the momentum firmly in Baltimore's dugout and hush the South Beach crowd.
From a tactical standpoint, this win highlighted the depth of the 2026 Orioles lineup and their ability to punish high-velocity starters like Pérez. Baltimore’s hitters showed veteran patience, working deep counts and capitalizing on mistakes to build a lead they would never give uph after the early tie. On the mound, the Orioles pitching staff settled in beautifully after a shaky first inning, stifling the Miami offense through the middle innings. With this win, the Baltimore squad has successfully shifted the narrative of their early May road trip, turning a difficult stretch into a display of offensive prowess and resilience. As they look to complete the sweep, the focus remains on this surging core of veterans and rising stars finding their collective rhythm.
