The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 on August 5, 2026, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, a result the DiamondIQ model's estimate anticipated from the outset, assigning Baltimore a 65% pre-game win probability that climbed to 100% by the final out. The game remained scoreless through three innings before the Orioles broke it open in the fourth, when Tyler O'Neill connected on a home run off Reid Detmers for a swing of plus-19.4% in win probability, followed shortly by Coby Mayo adding another home run off the same pitcher for an additional plus-8.5%, giving Baltimore a 3-0 cushion that fundamentally shaped the rest of the contest.
