Orioles put 18 runs, shut out lowly Rockies
Cedric Mullins smashed a three-run home run and Tyler O'Neill drilled a two-run homer to spark Baltimore's offense. Ryan O'Hearn provided a pair of run-scoring singles -- the latter part of a nine-run seventh inning -- and Alex Jackson added a solo home run after Rogers had left the game.
Rogers (4-1) struck out five while issuing one walk. It ended up being a combined two-hitter with Yaramil Hiraldo and Kade Strowd each working one inning.
The Orioles improved to 3-6 since the All-Star break and didn't have many problems a night after squandering a four-run lead in a one-run loss to Colorado. The league-worst Rockies lost for just the third time in eight games since the break.
The Rockies' only hit through eight innings was Thairo Estrada's one-out single in the second.
Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela (4-14) gave up six runs on six hits and a pair of walks in four innings as his major league-worst loss total grew.
Gunnar Henderson had a team-high three hits for the Orioles while Jackson Holliday joined Mullins, O'Hearn and O'Neill with two hits.
The Orioles opened the scoring on O'Hearn's first-inning single.
Then the bottom of the order provided a big chunk of Baltimore's production.
O'Neill, batting in the No. 7 spot, homered for the second game in a row, with his second-inning shot giving him five long balls for the season.
Mullins, who was eighth in the batting order, homered for the 14th time this season in the fourth as the margin grew to 6-0.
The Orioles busted the game open in the seventh, with Henderson and Coby Mayo each hitting two-run doubles.

Ruben Amorim hints Rasmus Hojlund could leave Man Utd amid Benjamin Sesko links
Striker Rasmus Hojlund impressed Ruben Amorim with a timely goal in a 4-1 win over Bournemouth but the Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim did not offer the 22-year-old any reassurance over his future. Hojlund has struggled since his £72million move from Atalanta two years ago but on the day reports claimed United had made their first move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, the Denmark international responded with the opener in Chicago. Patrick Dorgu and Amad Diallo extended their lead before 19-year-old academy graduate Ethan Williams scored his first senior goal two minutes after coming on as a 70th-minute substitute. 'I'm really happy with Rasmus, but I don't know what is going to happen until the end of the market,' Amorim told reporters at a press conference. 'The important thing is that Rasmus is scoring goals. He's connecting really well with the team. He's improving. 'Again, I don't know what is going to happen until the market is closed. We suffered a lot because of the lack of goals last season.' Matheus Cunha did not play due to fatigue while fellow new signing Bryan Mbeumo is scheduled to make his first appearance against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday. Harry Maguire was replaced by Matthijs de Ligt, who scored an 88th-minute own goal, at half-time as United continue to treat the centre-back with caution. 'He had an issue during the holidays, during training. He's a little bit late (in his training schedule) so we have to be careful with him,' Amorim added. 'It's just a little bit fatigue with the training so we are trying to control everything and saving all the players, to give the exact minutes they need.' Left-back Dorgu, who joined for £25m from Lecce in February, provided the assist for Hojlund before getting on the scoresheet himself and he was another player who caught Amorim's eye. 'He looks more and more like he belongs in Manchester United, and that is hard to do it at 20 years old so I'm really impressed with Patrick,' added the United boss, who was equally happy with Williams' goal. 'I celebrate that goal. It's not usual, even during the season, but I celebrate that goal because I really like to see the kids that work really well.' Amorim believes the work done in pre-season, something he was not able to do having arrived in November, is paying dividends. 'I'm really happy with the players that we had last season. They are improving. We look like a different team today. Let's continue with that,' he said. 'But again, it's a pre-season game. The pressure is going to be so much different during the season. It's important for them to understand that the same players can play a different game.'

Rain drives fans away at exposed Soldier Field
Premier League officials had been hoping for an attendance of just under 50,000 for the second game of their three-match Summer there were far fewer in the stands by the end as the awful conditions soaked the fans who had rain was swept across one end of Soldier Field to the other. There is no cover at the 61,500 arena, which is a surprise given the freezing temperatures this city experiences in the winter and the fact the stadium hosts the Chicago Bears NFL attending tonight's game suggested it was a source of pride for Bears fans that they brave such conditions but evidently, that view is not shared by league chiefs who have never hosted a Super Bowl in Chicago.
