Charlie Morton deals as Orioles top White Sox
June 1 - Charlie Morton threw 6 2/3 strong innings in another encouraging performance from the mound as the Baltimore Orioles completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Chicago White Sox, winning 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. Morton (2-7) has won consecutive starts since returning to the starting rotation. Gunnar Henderson and Ramon Urias both had two hits for Baltimore. The Orioles have won six of their last eight games, including three straight against the only American League team with a worse record than their mark. Baltimore completed a 4-2 homestand. Mike Tauchman tripled and homered for the White Sox. Teammates Chase Meidroth and Andrew Benintendi also had two hits apiece. Morton, a veteran right-hander, allowed an unearned run, six hits and a walk while striking out seven in his second consecutive sterling outing after a spring that had been tarnished by rough performances. He threw 100 pitches. Then Gregory Soto entered the game and surrendered a home run to Tauchman -- the first batter he faced. Andrew Kittredge and Bryan Baker, who notched his first save, finished out of the Baltimore bullpen. White Sox starter Adrian Houser (1-1) took the loss, lasting 6 1/3 innings and charged with three runs on eight hits with a walk and six strikeouts. The Orioles scored first on Urias' single in the third inning. But then with the bases loaded and no outs later in the inning, all they managed was Ryan O'Hearn's sacrifice fly before Houser escaped further problems with a pair of strikeouts. Baltimore's Heston Kjerstad tripled with one in the fourth, but he was picked off to thwart that threat. Chicago got a triple in the next inning from Tauchman, but it came with two outs and the White Sox didn't convert. Benintendi led off the Chicago sixth with a single and moved to second on a balk. He scored on a one-out error on Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday. Dylan Carlson doubled in a run in the sixth for a 3-1 lead. Tauchman's home run was his second long ball of the season. --Field Level Media

Holliday and Mateo homer as Orioles defeat White Sox 4-2 to clinch series win
BALTIMORE -- Jackson Holliday hit his first career leadoff home run, Jorge Mateo slugged his first homer of the season and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Saturday. Dean Kremer (5-5) allowed one run in six innings to win his second consecutive start for Baltimore, which has won five of seven for the first time this season. The Orioles clinched their third home series victory of the season and their first since taking two of three from the New York Yankees on April 28-30. Félix Bautista earned his 10th save in 11 tries with a scoreless ninth. The White Sox (18-40) fell to 6-25 on the road and are a season-high 22 games under .500. After yielding Holliday's home run in the first, Chicago starter Davis Martin (2-6) didn't allow a hit until Ryan O'Hearn's one-double in the fourth. O'Hearn came around two batters later on Coby Mayo's RBI single — his first in the majors. And it cleared both benches. Mayo, who was called up earlier Saturday, rounded first base and got caught in a rundown. Second baseman Lenyn Sosa tossed to first baseman Miguel Vargas and Mayo collided with Sosa — appearing to try to draw an interference call — and fell as he was heading to second. Vargas tagged Mayo out, but Sosa took exception to Mayo's shove. The two were talking when Mayo picked up his helmet from the ground and then pushed Sosa in the left shoulder as he was walking away. That sent players from both teams onto the field, where there was a little pushing and shoving before order was quickly restored without incident. In the fifth, Mateo followed Dylan Carlson's one-out double by lofting a fly over the fence in center for his first homer since last June 21. Andrew Benintendi hit an RBI single in the fifth off Kremer and Mike Tauchman drove in the White Sox's other run with a single off Yennier Cano in the seventh. Kremer allowed six hits and struck out seven. He improved to 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA in three career starts against the White Sox. Martin gave up four runs in six innings. He struck out six. Bautista struck out Luis Robert Jr. and Austin Slater to escape a two-on, one-out jam in the ninth. Bautista earned saves on consecutive days for the first time since July 22-23, 2023. The right-hander missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2023. Chicago RHP Adrian Houser (1-0, 0.00 ERA), who has thrown 12 scoreless innings since signing with the White Sox on May 20, starts the series finale against Baltimore RHP Charlie Morton (1-7, 7.09).
