The Washington Nationals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4–3 on June 27 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a low-scoring contest that fell short of the Vegas total of 9.5 runs. The Nationals' offense proved more efficient, collecting 13 hits with one home run and 4 RBIs while striking out 14 times, posting a .741 OPS compared to Baltimore's anemic .720 mark. The Orioles managed just 7 hits with no homers and committed 2 errors, reflecting defensive lapses that contributed to the loss despite striking out 12 Nationals batters. Both pitching staffs delivered quality outings, with Washington's starter allowing 7 hits across an ERA of 4.70 and Baltimore's pitcher fanning 14 while surrendering 13 hits; the difference came down to execution in high-leverage situations. The Nationals' superior contact rate and ability to manufacture runs from limited opportunities proved decisive in a game defined by defensive miscues and offensive restraint. Washington's win improves their recent form, while Baltimore's inability to capitalize on scoring chances despite 14 strikeouts suggests continued offensive struggles moving forward.
