Jeremiah Jackson hit a three-run homer off Connor Brogdon as part of a six-run eighth inning, rallying the visiting Baltimore Orioles to a 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night.

Jackson's fifth home run of the season came with two outs, capping a wild turn of events that saw the Orioles score six times off relievers Shawn Armstrong, Erik Sabrowski and Brogdon on two hits, three walks and a hit by pitch.

Cleveland had taken a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the seventh on Daniel Schneemann's second career grand slam, a towering 407-foot drive to right off Anthony Nunez, before Baltimore stormed back to snap its three-game losing streak.

Rico Garcia (2-0) was awarded the win for working a clean eighth inning, while Ryan Helsley earned his sixth save in six opportunities. Sabrowski (0-1) allowed two runs and recorded two outs for the loss.

Baltimore pulled within 4-3 on a sacrifice fly from Johnathan Rodriguez and a two-run double by fellow pinch hitter Weston Wilson before Brogdon entered to face Jackson. Sabrowski came in after Armstrong put three aboard without getting an out.

Schneemann's slam caused the first inherited runs by the Orioles' bullpen in their 20th game. Steven Kwan, Chase DeLauter and Jose Ramirez reached against Grant Wolfram, including Kwan on an error by second baseman Jackson that made three of the runs unearned.

Tanner Bibee tossed a season-high six innings for the Guardians, striking out five in his initial scoreless appearance of 2026. The right-hander allowed four hits and three walks, but remained winless in five outings.

Orioles starter Chris Bassitt threw 100 pitches over five scoreless innings, giving up four hits and four walks with two strikeouts. The righty, who is still seeking his first win, stranded seven runners in his longest outing of the year.

There was a delay in the fifth when Baltimore right fielder Colton Cowser collided with the wall while catching a foul ball by DeLauter. He remained in the game after having his knees checked out by a trainer.
