JJ turns on the jets for an inside-the-park home run!! 🏃‍♂️💨 https://t.co/nvq0uvQif0 Via @Orioles on X

What happened: Jeremiah Jackson recorded an inside-the-park home run after the ball got past Spencer Jones in the outfield. Jackson capitalized on the defensive mistake to clear the bases and score without a throw.

Why it matters: The play highlighted a rare defensive breakdown in the outfield. Generating an inside-the-park home run requires a specific combination of deep contact and fielding errors to allow the runner enough time to score.

What to watch: The defense will look to stabilize its outfield positioning for the remainder of the series.
