Blaze Alexander returns, Orioles prepare for Athletics series

In a 4-3 win over the Athletics, Craig Albernaz highlighted Alex Hoppe's save and Brandon Young's efficient start, while Trevor Rogers was roughed up by homers, prompting Baltimore to focus on limiting long balls down the stretch. The Orioles began a three-game series in Sacramento with Blaze Alexander back in the lineup, Gunnar Henderson resting, and Jackson Holliday moving into the leadoff spot as the team looks to capitalize on a favorable slate against the A's and Rockies.
