ST. LOUIS (AP) — Blaze Jordan and Ramón Urías homered
early to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-5 on
Thursday, snapping a five-game losing streak.
Riley O’Brien pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his National
League-leading 34th save after allowing a combined seven runs and taking
the loss in his previous two outings. |

The teams traded runs in the eighth after Coby Mayo hit a
three-run homer, his 18th of the season, off Caleb Ferguson in
the seventh to cut the St. Louis lead to 6-4.
Urías hit his third homer off starter Trevor Rogers (9-9) in the
fourth to give the Cardinals a 5-0 cushion.
Rogers allowed six runs and seven hits with seven strikeouts in
five innings.
Jordan launched his third homer to center field in the second
after Alec Burleson singled to extend his hitting streak to 13
games and Joshua Báez doubled, putting St. Louis ahead 3-0.
Jordan left in the top of the eighth after diving awkwardly into
third base to tag out Gunnar Henderson when Samuel Basallo hit a
grounder to pitcher George Soriano.
Luis Gastelum (4-3) tossed 1 1/3 perfect innings after Justin
Bruihl allowed one run in 1 2/3 innings and Gordon Graceffo
pitched three perfect innings as an opener for the Cardinals.
Before the game, St. Louis selected the contract of Cade
Winquest from Triple-A Memphis and placed fellow right-hander
Peter Strzelecki on the 15-day injured list with right forearm
extensor inflammation.
Up next
Orioles: RHP Brandon Young (9-3, 3.50 ERA) is scheduled face the
Athletics on the road Friday night.
Cardinals: LHP Quinn Mathews (0-2, 6.43 ERA) will make his
fourth career start at home against Pittsburgh RHP Jared Jones
(2-5, 4.76).
