Adley Rutschman hits two home runs in Red Sox victory over Orioles
Summary

Former Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman returned to Oriole Park at Camden Yards on September 3, 2026, leading the Boston Red Sox to a win over his former team. Rutschman recorded two home runs in the contest, contributing to a late-inning comeback for Boston. The loss marks the third consecutive defeat for Baltimore, which currently sits 1.5 games behind the Guardians for the third wild card spot. Defensive errors and bullpen struggles, including a go-ahead home run surrendered by Yennier Cano in the eighth inning, factored into the Orioles' inability to secure the victory. Manager Craig Albernaz faced criticism for tactical decisions, specifically regarding pinch-hitting choices in the seventh inning. The Orioles continue to navigate a challenging travel schedule that has seen the team traverse multiple time zones without a day off since late August.
