Orioles' Dylan Carlson homers to down former club Cardinals
May 26 - Dylan Carlson drilled a three-run home run against his former team and the Baltimore Orioles have a three-game winning streak for the first time this year, defeating the visiting St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Monday afternoon.
Charlie Morton put together his best start from the mound this season by working six innings as the Orioles began a six-game homestand with success. Ryan O'Hearn provided three hits and Jackson Holliday joined Carlson with two hits.
Pedro Pages homered for the Cardinals, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Nolan Gorman had two of the team's four hits.
Carlson, an outfielder who played for St. Louis from 2020 through part of 2024, entered the game with four hits in 16 games since joining Baltimore. He homered for the second game in a row.
Morton (1-7), who has been sent to the bullpen after massive struggles during the first month of the season, limited the Cardinals to two runs on four hits. He struck out five and walked two.
Morton was making his seventh start and 13th appearance. The Orioles were 0-12 in games he pitched until Monday.
Felix Bautista, the third reliever used following Seranthony Dominguez and Yennier Cano, worked the ninth for his eighth save while notching two strikeouts. The Orioles had lost their previous eight home games.
Erick Fedde (3-4) took the loss, with three of the five runs allowed being charged as earned across his five-inning stint. He gave up seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts.
The Orioles struck for a run in the first inning on Gunnar Henderson's groundout. Holliday's third-inning single drove in Carlson.
Carlson's blast came in the fourth inning to push Baltimore to a 5-0 lead.
The Cardinals responded with Pages' two-run shot in the fifth.
The Orioles won for the first time in three home games under interim manager Tony Mansolino.

BREAKING NEWS Dallas Stars fire Pete DeBoer despite team's impressive season
The Dallas Stars have fired head coach Pete DeBoer after three seasons in charge, with the Texas powerhouse making the Western Conference Finals in each of those years. DeBoer is a longtime NHL head coach, who achieved plenty of success leading the Stars' bench but failed to get the team to the Stanley Cup Finals in a trio of direct attempts. The Stars were eliminated the last two postseasons by the Edmonton Oilers, with a defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023. The 56-year-old DeBoer has 18 seasons of NHL experience as a head coach and has never won a Stanley Cup. He led the New Jersey Devils in 2012 and the San Jose Sharks in 2016 to his only pair of Stanley Cup Finals as a bench boss, where his team lost to the Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins respectively. DeBoer's last six seasons leading a team to the playoff have ended with an elimination in the conference finals, dating back to the 2019 playoffs with the Sharks. The timing from the Stars leaves their post as the only head-coaching vacancy. In the last few days, the Penguins hired Dan Muse to heir helm and the Boston Bruins scooped up Marco Sturm, with DeBoer being a more impressive candidate than either of those two men. Unless the Stars hire a standing NHL head coach, which could happen with one of the deepest rosters in hockey, DeBoer will have to wait a season for his next bench leadership role.

Jackie Robinson mural in Miami defaced with hate speech
June 6 - Miami murals honoring baseball trailblazers Jackie Robinson and Minnie Minoso were defaced with swastikas and racist slurs this week. The vandalism in the city's Overtown neighborhood was reported Monday to police, who told The Athletic on Friday that they are investigating the incident as a hate crime. The defacements of the murals in Dorsey Park included swastikas painted over the players' faces and a racial slur scrawled on Robinson's image. "This was an act of hate, but it will not define us," Kyle Holbrook, the artist who painted the mural in 2011 as part of the MLK Mural Project, told the Miami Herald. "This mural was born from a community's pride, history, and power. We will restore it -- stronger, bolder, and with even more purpose. Black history is American history. And no spray paint can erase that truth." Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. The Hall of Famer's uniform No. 42 is retired throughout the big leagues. Minoso, who was born in Cuba, also broke ground as the first Black Latino player when he played for Cleveland in 1949. He was inducted into Cooperstown in 2022. U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) called the vandalism a "vile act of hatred" in a statement Wednesday. "We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division," she said. "But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history." In 2024, a statue of Robinson was stolen from a park in Wichita, Kan., and later found burned and dismantled. --Field Level Media
