Orioles 8, Twins 6: O’Neill’s Three-Run Shot & a Seventh-Inning Rally (Mar 29, 2026)

Baltimore Orioles vs Minnesota Twins March 29 2026 recap and AthX fantasy points at getathx.com

Baltimore Orioles 8, Minnesota Twins 6 at Oriole Park on Sunday, March 29, 2026 flipped from a 4–0 Twins lead to a track meet: Tyler O’Neill’s three-run homer woke Camden Yards, Dylan Beavers put the Orioles ahead in the sixth, Royce Lewis tied it with a solo homer in the seventh, and Baltimore answered with three in the bottom of the seventh to pull away. Ryan Helsley earned 8 AthX FP in a one-inning save look, Tyler O’Neill led position players at 10 FP, and Shane Baz’s 4.33 FP start kept Baltimore close enough for the rally—exactly the kind of layered box AthX Engine traders read when they pair daily fantasy totals with dynamic pricing.

Game narrative / key moments

Minnesota jumped ahead in the second: Trevor Larnach’s infield single plated a run, then Tyler Gray’s three-run double cleared the bases—4–0 (ESPN). Baltimore answered in the fourth when O’Neill homered to left with Pete Alonso and Samuel Basallo aboard—4–3.

Dylan Beavers’ sixth-inning double scored Coby Mayo and O’Neill—5–4 Orioles. Royce Lewis tied it 5–5 with a solo homer leading off the seventh. Baltimore then unloaded in the bottom half: Alonso’s RBI single, Rutschman’s run-scoring double, and Mayo’s RBI single pushed the lead to 8–5. Gray added an RBI single in the eighth for the 6–8 final.

    • Team & trading implications

    Baltimore showed the power-and-patience identity AthX Engine season models like: O’Neill’s long ball, Rutschman and Mayo in the seventh, and Helsley slamming the door. Treat this as a daily ceiling for Orioles bats, not a full-season re-rate on its own.

    Minnesota banked twelve hits and six runs but could not hold the 4–0 lead—Lewis’ homer kept the line moving, Gray’s early double was the big blow. Traders on Twins shares should separate bullpen sequencing from lineup depth before they react to one Sunday loss.

    Bold takeaways

  • O’Neill: 10 AthX FP with a 391-foot three-run homer per ESPN.
  • Seventh inning: three insurance runs for Baltimore after Lewis tied it—Alonso, Rutschman, Mayo.
  • Helsley: 8 FP in a one-inning save.
  • March 29 Top 10 · Weekly Mar 25–29.

    • Conclusion

    Comeback wins are trader catnip when AthX FP lines match the story: lead with O’Neill’s 10, close with Helsley’s 8, and only then open how AthX MLB season projections work for the bigger picture.
