CLEVELAND — The Orioles were nearly no-hit on Thursday. Somehow, the offense looked just as bad on Friday. Through seven innings, it appeared the Orioles had left their bats back in Baltimore and were still waiting on them to be shipped to Cleveland.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, they came alive in the eighth inning, scoring three runs to pull within one. Up at the plate with two outs and the game on the line was precisely the hitter the Orioles wanted. No, it wasn’t Taylor Ward or Gunnar Henderson or Pete Alonso.

It was Jeremiah Jackson, the ballclub’s hottest hitter, and he came through once again. Jackson hit a three-run homer over the tall left-field wall at Progressive Field to stamp an exclamation point on Baltimore’s six-run inning and propel the Orioles to a 6-4 comeback win over the Guardians. The second baseman has homered five times over the past seven games as he’s become an everyday player for the Orioles.
