The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 10–8 on March 21 at Ed Smith Stadium in a spring training matchup that saw both offenses struggle relative to their pitch quality. Baltimore's pitching staff struck out nine batters while allowing nine hits and seven earned runs, posting a 4.56 ERA, while the Orioles' lineup managed just 11 hits and one home run despite drawing seven walks and posting a .725 OPS. Philadelphia's offense was equally anemic, recording nine hits with zero home runs and striking out nine times, though they did draw eight walks to match Baltimore's total. The Phillies' pitching proved more problematic, surrendering 11 hits and 10 earned runs with a 4.87 ERA across a game that featured minimal defensive miscues from either side. Both teams' offensive production lagged noticeably, with Philadelphia's .686 OPS and Baltimore's .725 OPS reflecting the early-season rust typical of spring training competition. The Orioles' ability to overcome their own pitching vulnerabilities suggests some offensive depth heading into the regular season.
