Philadelphia Phillies at Baltimore Orioles: Final Score & Recap

The Philadelphia Phillies completed a dominant 8-0 shutout of the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on August 2, 2026, handing Baltimore a loss that saw the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a home win probability collapse from 50% before first pitch to 0% by game's end. The Phillies spread their damage across multiple innings, plating two in the third, two more in the fourth, one in the fifth, and three in the sixth, while limiting the Orioles to just four hits across nine innings.

The decisive blow came in the top of the third, when Bryan De La Cruz connected on a home run off Kyle Bradish that swung win probability 16.5% in Philadelphia's favor, representing the single most impactful play of the game by a wide margin. Baltimore's best chance to respond came immediately afterward in the bottom half of the inning, but Gunnar Henderson's lineout off Kyle Backhus instead swung the needle 6.6% further against the Orioles. Philadelphia extended its grip in the fourth with back-to-back walks drawn by J.T. Realmuto and Bryson Stott off Anthony Nunez, adding 6.5% and 5.7% in win probability respectively, before Bryce Harper added a solo home run off Josh Walker in the fifth for another 5.1% swing.

De La Cruz led all position players with a final WPA of plus 13.2% and a RE24 of plus 0.7, while Justin Crawford and Realmuto each contributed plus 1.4 RE24 with WPA figures of plus 8.7% and plus 4.9% respectively. On the mound, Tim Mayza led Philadelphia's pitching staff with a WPA of plus 6.9%, followed by Backhus at plus 5.4% and Zack Wheeler at plus 4.5%. The DiamondIQ model leans toward crediting the third-inning sequence as the game's true turning point, with De La Cruz's homer effectively ending Baltimore's realistic path to victory before the game reached the midpoint.
