Ryan O'Hearn, Dylan Carlson homer as Orioles beat Red Sox 5-1 to salvage series split
BOSTON (AP) — Ryan O'Hearn and Dylan Carlson each hit a solo homer and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Sunday to salvage a split of the four-game series that was interrupted by two rainouts.
The victory gave Baltimore its first consecutive wins since April 30 and May 2 after it earned a split of the day-night doubleheader Saturday by winning the second game.
Jarren Duran had four singles for the Red Sox and highly touted prospect Marcelo Mayer earned his first major league hit — a single — and added a double.
It was the second straight game that Boston's offense has struggled after it learned Alex Bregman, one of its better offensive players, was lost for a while with a strained right quadriceps.
The Orioles won for just the third time in 13 games.
Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman left the game after taking a hard foul off the mask.
Orioles starter Dean Kremer (4-5) allowed seven singles in 5 1/3 innings.
Carlson hit his first homer with the Orioles into the right-field seats to make it 2-0.
Key moment
O'Hearn had somewhat of a Little League homer when he doubled to the gap in right-center in the eighth. He stopped at second, but the throw from Ceddanne Rafaela hit him and caromed away, allowing him to break for third. Mayer retrieved the ball and threw it away, allowing O'Hearn to score.
Key stat
The Red Sox finished a 10-game homestand just 5-5.
Up next
Orioles: RHP Charlie Morton (0-7, 7.68 ERA) is scheduled to start for Baltimore on Monday in the opener of a three-game series against St. Louis. RHP Erick Fedde (3-3, 3.77) is scheduled for the Cardinals.

Man United completes signing of Brazil forward Matheus Cunha
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United completed the signing of Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. The 26-year-old forward signed a five-year contract to 2030, with the option of a further 12 months. 'Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt,' Cunha said. United paid a reported 62.5 million pounds ($84 million) for Cunha, who is expected to be one of several signings for the fallen Premier League giant as coach Ruben Amorim looks to overhaul his squad following a woeful season. Cunha scored 17 goals for Wolves last season. The United attack had the fifth worst scoring record in the English top flight last term. 'All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top,' he said. United was 15th in the standings, its worst position since the Premier League era began in 1992. It also had its most losses in a Premier League season and recorded its lowest points total. The joint record 20-time English champion has gone 12 years without the title since last winning it in former manager Alex Ferguson's final season in 2013. 'Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window," said Jason Wilcox, United director of football. "He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and before that in Spain and Germany. 'He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honors.'

Leroy Sané bids Bayern fans goodbye ahead of a likely move to Galatasaray
Associated Press ISTANBUL (AP) — Germany winger Leroy Sane posted an emotional farewell message to Bayern Munich fans on Thursday as he nears a move to Galatasaray on a free transfer. The Turkish league champion confirmed on social media late Wednesday that Sané arrived in Istanbul for negotiations. 'After 5 intense years here in Munich, I've decided to start a new chapter in the upcoming season," Sané wrote on Instagram. "I'm incredibly proud to have worn the jersey of the best and biggest club in Germany for over 200 matches and will always cherish the titles we've won together.' Sané's contract with Bayern expires at the end of the month, though he has been included in Bayern's squad for the Club World Cup in the U.S. Talks on a possible extension dragged on through the season without a resolution, even as Bayern reached agreements on new contracts with teammates like Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich. A five-year stay will end at Bayern, which signed Sané in 2020 for a reported fee of just under 50 million euros (then $56.3 million) after a lengthy pursuit of the then-Manchester City player. During his time in Munich, he's won the Bundesliga four times, but has faced criticism in recent seasons for a perceived lack of consistency, especially in European games. Sané scored 13 times in 45 games across all competitions for Bayern this season but only one of those goals came in the Champions League. ___ AP soccer: recommended in this topic
