ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Blaze Jordan and Ramn Uras 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.
Uras 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 Bez
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).
