UPDATE: In a shocking twist of fate, the Baltimore Orioles rallied for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 late Saturday night, stunning fans at Camden Yards. Jackson Holliday denied Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto a no-hitter with a dramatic homer, igniting a furious comeback.
With two outs remaining and the Dodgers holding a commanding 99.6% win probability, Holliday’s powerful drive shifted the momentum, bringing the crowd to its feet. The Orioles weren’t done; they capitalized on Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen’s struggles, scoring three more runs to clinch the victory.
Yamamoto, who had dominated the game with 10 strikeouts and allowed only two baserunners through 8.2 innings, exited to a standing ovation, narrowly missing the major leagues’ first no-hitter of 2025. His performance was a career high, with a total of 112 pitches thrown.
The whirlwind ninth inning saw the Orioles capitalize on Treinen’s errors. After Holliday’s homer, Jeremiah Jackson doubled, and Treinen hit Gunnar Henderson before walking Ryan Mountcastle and Colton Cowser. Emmanuel Rivera then delivered the game-winning two-run single, sending Camden Yards into a frenzy.
“This was an incredible team effort,” Rivera said after the game. “We believed until the very end.”
The Dodgers’ loss marks a historic moment as they became just the second team in the Expansion Era to lose a game after carrying a no-hitter into the ninth inning, following a similar fate in 2011. The last time the Orioles faced a no-hitter was back on August 12, 2015, against Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners.
As the regular season approaches its climax, this stunning upset adds another layer of intrigue to the playoff race. The Dodgers, who have not thrown a no-hitter since May 4, 2018, must regroup quickly as they head into crucial games. Meanwhile, the Orioles continue their push for postseason glory, riding high on this exhilarating comeback.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the implications of this game echo throughout the league.
