Orioles finally win 3 in a row, beating the Cardinals 5-2. Can they keep it up?
It took 12 games for the 2024 Orioles to produce their first three-game winning streak. This year it took 53. Baltimore finally achieved that modest accomplishment Monday, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 for its third victory in a row. If the Orioles — who are still 15 games under .500 — are going to dig out of this hole, it's going to take more performances like this one. Charlie Morton and Dylan Carlson, a couple offseason additions who haven't performed well so far, led the way. "Charlie threw outstanding," said Carlson, who hit a three-run homer. "It was great playing behind him, great pace, bullpen did a great job. Guys up and down the lineup contributed, did a great job. Good team win." Of all the Orioles who have struggled this year, Morton is probably the most emblematic of the team's poor start. Baltimore signed him to a one-year deal instead of being more aggressive in the starting pitching market, and he promptly lost his first six starts. He has pitched mostly out of the bullpen of late. "I'm 41 years old. I can't really expect that I'm going to go out there and have the best year of my career. ... (But) I didn't expect to come in and have a 10 ERA," Morton said. "Waking up every day and thinking about how bad it was going, it was kind of surreal." On Monday, Morton (1-7) was given another chance to start, and he allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. That came after scoreless starts by Trevor Rogers and Dean Kremer in the team's previous two games. Carlson hasn't played much for the Orioles, but now he has homered in consecutive games. He's 5 for 12 over the last three games after going 1 for 22 before that. This three-game winning streak comes about a week after Baltimore fired manager Brandon Hyde and replaced him on an interim basis with Tony Mansolino. The new skipper said before Monday's game that outfielder Colton Cowser and infielder Jordan Westburg were going to Triple-A on rehab assignments. So, for the first time in a while, the news has been mostly good for the Orioles for a few days.

Dylan Carlson's 3-run homer powers the Orioles to their 3rd straight win, 5-2 over the Cardinals
BALTIMORE (AP) — 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. Key moment 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. Key stat 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. Up next Baltimore sends Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) to the mound Tuesday night against Andre Pallante (4-3) of the Cardinals. ___ AP MLB: Noah Trister, The Associated Press

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. --Field Level Media
