ATLANTA (AP) --- Ramn Laureano's double in the 10th inning gave Baltimore the
lead and the Orioles hit three home runs in 9-6 win over the Atlanta Braves on
Saturday.
Laureano's double down the third-base line off Rafael Montero (0-1) drove in
Jordan Westburg from third base. Jacob Stallings added a two-run double in the
inning.
Flix Bautista (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for Baltimore, which has won the
first two games of the three-game series. Yennier Cano got the last three outs
for his first save.
Braves left-hander Aaron Bummer recorded strikeouts on his first five outs
before fading quickly in the third. Tyler O'Neill homered to lead off the
inning. Bummer walked Cedric Mullins before giving up Westburg's two-run homer.
Colton Cowser also had a two-run homer for Baltimore in the fourth.
Bummer served as the opener in his first start of 374 career games in nine
seasons. The Braves needed a bullpen game after right-hander Spencer
Schwellenbach landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a fractured
right elbow.
Atlanta's rotation already was missing Chris Sale (broken rib), AJ
Smith-Shawver (Tommy John surgery) and Reynaldo Lpez (shoulder surgery).
Matt Olson drove in two runs with three hits, including a homer, for Atlanta.
Austin Riley drove in three runs with two hits, including a two-run homer in
the first off Dean Kremer.
Key moment Orioles catcher Gary Snchez left the game with right knee pain in the fifth inning and was having an MRI following the game. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said he expects to know more about Snchez on Sunday. The Orioles have three catchers on the IL: Adley Rutschman (left oblique strain), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (lower back strain). Stallings replaced Snchez. Key stat The Braves fell to 28-5 when scoring five or more runs. Up next In a rare 11:35 a.m. ET start for Roku TV, Braves RHP Grant Holmes (4-7, 3.47 ERA) will face Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (1-0, 2.05) on Sunday. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
