Rivera went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Boston.

Rivera put Baltimore on the board in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. He gave the team another lead with an RBI single in the 10th, but Boston emerged with the victory on a Tyler O'Neill walk-off homer in the bottom of that frame. It was a rare opportunity for Rivera to produce, as he's started just twice in the Orioles' past seven games.

Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

Ramirez has swiped a bag in three straight contests, giving him 38 thefts on the year. He continues to extend his career high in that area, but his chances of a 40-40 season are dwindling since he's homered just once over 10 games in September. The third baseman is sporting a .270/.329/.512 slash line with 34 homers, 106 RBI and 103 runs scored over 143 contests this season.

Santander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Santander's solo shot in the eighth inning tied the game, though the Orioles went on to lose on a Tyler O'Neill walk-off homer in the 10th. Santander's long ball was his 41st of the campaign, third in the majors behind Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Santander also has 95 RBI on the campaign, tying the career-best mark he established last season.

Hedges went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

Hedges' playing time remains sparse, and he hasn't done enough with the bat to challenge Bo Naylor for the starting catcher job. Since the start of August, Hedges has gone 7-for-40 (.175) with four RBI over 21 contests. He's now slashing .160/.213/.232 with two homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and two stolen bases over 138 plate appearances this season.

Sandlin (8-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

The Guardians never trailed in the contest, but starter Matthew Boyd needed 95 pitches to get through 4.1 innings. Sandlin took over in the fifth and secured his first win since Aug. 12. Over his last 12 appearances, Sandlin has given up four runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:7 K:BB. He's now at a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63:25 K:BB while adding a save and eight holds over 52.1 innings as a middle reliever this year.

O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 5-3 extra-inning win against Baltimore on Wednesday.

O'Neill was hitless until the 10th frame, when he belted a three-run blast off Keegan Akin to give the Red Sox a walk-off win. The long ball was the veteran outfielder's fifth in his past five games, and he's also collected nine RBI during that span. The hot stretch has elevated O'Neill's homer total to 30 on the season -- the second time in his career he's reached that threshold.

Kremer allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Boston on Wednesday.

Kremer didn't get much support in this one -- the first run he gave up scored on a throwing error, and the Orioles managed just one run on offense while he was in the game. However, the right-hander kept his team in the contest, tossing seven strong innings while throwing 70 of 103 pitches for strikes. This was the first time Kremer completed seven frames since April 30, and the quality start was his fifth in his past six outings. He's posted a 2.62 ERA with a 32:13 K:BB during that span.

Pivetta allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday.

The only run Pivetta allowed came on an Emmanuel Rivera solo shot in the third inning. The right-handed hurler was otherwise excellent, notching his highest strikeout total since he tallied 10 punchouts against Seattle on July 29. Pivetta has been on a nice roll of late, notching three straight quality starts during which he's allowed just four runs while posting a 21:5 K:BB over 18 frames.

Soto went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 4-3 extra-inning win against Kansas City.

The Yankees were being shut out by Cole Ragans until Soto swatted a go-ahead two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. The blast was the star outfielder's 39th of the season and pushed him to the 100-RBI mark. It's the third time in his career that Soto has reached the latter total, and with one more homer he'll have his first 40-homer campaign.

Ragans allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Ragans held New York scoreless until Juan Soto tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth inning. That put the left-hander in line for the loss, but the Kansas City offense took him off the hook with a run in the following frame. Overall, Ragans pitched well, recording 13 whiffs en route to seven punchouts and notching his second straight quality start. Ragans has at least seven strikeouts in six of his past seven outings and ranks second in the majors with 211 punchouts on the season.
