The Baltimore Orioles were able to secure a thrilling 8-7 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night thanks to a 3-run homer by catcher Caleb Mullins in the bottom of the 9th inning.
The Orioles had been trailing 7-5 going into the bottom of the 9th, and it looked like the Astros were going to take the win. But Mullins had other ideas. With two outs and two runners on base, he stepped up to the plate and hit a towering shot over the left field fence that put the Orioles ahead 8-7. The crowd erupted in cheers as Mullins rounded the bases and the Orioles celebrated their victory.
Mullins’ heroics capped off a back-and-forth game between the two teams. The Astros had taken an early lead in the game, but the Orioles battled back to tie it up in the 6th inning. The Astros then took a two-run lead in the top of the 9th, but Mullins’ homer in the bottom of the inning sealed the deal for Baltimore.
It was a memorable night for Mullins, who had been struggling at the plate recently. He finished the game with three hits and four RBIs, and his 3-run homer will be remembered for years to come.
The Orioles will look to build on this victory as they continue their push for a playoff spot. With Mullins’ heroics, they have taken a step in the right direction.
