Dylan Carlson's 3-run homer powers the Orioles to their 3rd straight win, 5-2 over the Cardinals
BALTIMORE — Dylan Carlson hit a three-run homer against his former team, Charlie Morton earned his first victory with Baltimore, and the Orioles achieved their first three-game winning streak of the season, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Monday.
Carlson's drive in the fourth off Erick Fedde (3-4) put the Orioles up 5-0. Morton (1-7) took a shutout into the fifth before allowing a two-run shot by Pedro Pagés. The 41-year-old right-hander, who signed with Baltimore in the offseason, allowed four hits in six innings after losing his first six starts of the season. He'd pitched mostly in relief lately.
After Morton exited, three Baltimore relievers — Seranthony Domínguez, Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista — retired all nine of their hitters. Bautista pitched the ninth for his eighth save in nine chances.
Fedde allowed three earned runs in five innings and did not get much help from his infielders. After a leadoff single by Jackson Holliday in the first, Ramón Urías hit a grounder to third, but Nolan Gorman threw wildly to second for an error. Holliday went to third and then scored one batter later.
With one out and a man on first in the fourth, St. Louis second baseman Brendan Donovan fielded a grounder, but his throw to second hit the runner for another error. Carlson followed with his home run.
Carlson played four-plus seasons for the Cardinals before being traded to Tampa Bay last July. He's 6 for 34 on the season, but his homer Monday was his second in two days.
Morton lowered his ERA from 7.68 to 7.09. Poor starting pitching is a big reason the Orioles are at the bottom of the AL East, but during this short winning streak, Baltimore starters have allowed just two runs in 17 2/3 innings.
Baltimore sends Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) to the mound Tuesday night against Andre Pallante (4-3) of the Cardinals.

Royals place Michael Massey on injured list, recall Tyler Tolbert before series-opener vs Yankees
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals placed second baseman Michael Massey on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled utility man Tyler Tolbert from Triple-A Omaha before starting a three-game series against the Yankees on Tuesday night. Massey had served as the designated hitter on Saturday against the White Sox but did not finish the game, and he was out of the lineup for the series finale . He is hitting just .202 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 56 games this season. 'The same ankle injury that he's been dealing with since the last homestand. It's just not getting any better, or it's not improving enough to go out there and play at a high level,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'He got an MRI to show that things weren't healing as well as we would like. So, we needed to make a move to get him some rest.' In other news, the Royals expect to have reliever Lucas Erceg back before they wrap up their series against New York. He threw a clean inning against Omaha on Sunday night as he works his way back from a lower back strain. Erceg has appeared in 24 games with a 1.96 ERA for Kansas City this season. ___ AP MLB:

Fans Saddened After Giants' Announcement Before Rockies Game
Fans Saddened After Giants' Announcement Before Rockies Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco Giants (38-28) are close to passing baseball's Goliath. They're just 1.5 games behind the defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers (40-27) for first place in the NL West despite having a nearly $100 million cheaper active (26-man) payroll, via Spotrac. Their total payroll allocations are also around $170 million less. Advertisement While the Dodgers rely on superstars like designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, infielder Mookie Betts, infielder Freddie Freeman, and starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Giants are led by more unheralded players like outfielder Heliot Ramos, outfielder Jung Hoo Lee, and starting pitcher Robbie Ray. Ohtani leads the NL with 23 homers, while third baseman Matt Chapman tops San Francisco with 12. However, the Giants made an unfortunate announcement about the latter player before Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies (12-53) via their social media. San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (26).Robert Edwards-Imagn Images They placed Chapman on the 10-day Injured List (retroactive to June 9) with right hand inflammation. Additionally, they recalled Christian Koss recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. Advertisement Chapman is slashing .243/.360/.452 with 30 RBI in 65 games this season. Fans aren't happy about the veteran's injury. "Nnnoooo" one said. "Brutal, one of the more underrated players in baseball," another said. "He's the 3B version of Francisco Lindor." "[Expletive] shoot me man," another said. "Sorry to hear about Chapman he will be missed! But Koss the slugger is back!!" another said. Koss is slashing .273/.338/.453 with 56 homers and 260 RBI in 451 career minor-league games.
