Pete Alonso hits 2-run single and trade-depleted Orioles beat Angels 3-1
BALTIMORE (AP) --- Pete Alonso hit a two-run single, Tyler O'Neill had his
third pinch-hit homer of the season, and the trade-depleted Baltimore Orioles
beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Cade Povich pitched six scoreless innings in his first start in nearly three
months for the Orioles, who traded away Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Tyler
Wells and Dean Kremer at the deadline but remain in contention for a wild-card
playoff berth.
Christian Franklin made his major league debut, starting in Ward's former spot
in left field, and scored on Alonso's third-inning single against former Oriole
Grayson Rodriguez (3-4).
O'Neill pinch-hit for leadoff batter Dylan Beavers in the eighth inning against
Mitch Farris and connected for his eighth homer of the season. That restored
Baltimore's two-run lead after Los Angeles got within 2-1 in the top half on
Vaughn Grissom's RBI double against Andrew Kittredge.
Yennier Cano worked the ninth for his second save. Baltimore (55-58) moved
within 1 1/2 games of Cleveland for the final AL wild-card spot but is one of
several teams sitting a few games under .500.
Sidelined since early May with left elbow inflammation, Povich allowed seven
hits, struck out seven and walked one while throwing 88 pitches, 60 for
strikes. The Orioles' trade of Kremer to the Twins opened up a spot in their
starting rotation.
The Angels had 11 hits but went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position.
Rodriguez pitched a season-high seven innings, allowing two runs on three hits
to lower his ERA to 7.24. The Orioles traded him to the Angels in the offseason
for Ward, who was shipped to Seattle at the deadline.
Up next
LHP Reid Detmers (3-9, 4.03 ERA) starts Wednesday for the Angels against
Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (6-7, 4.27).
