The Baltimore Orioles began a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night at Camden Yards. An Eloy Jimenez two run homerun in the top of the first and the fact that the Birds were facing Dylan Cease made for a disappointing start and made the outcome look not so promising.
There would be none of that on this night, however. Ryan Mountcastle (1 for 4, 1 run scored, 3 RBI) hit a three run homerun to center field (420 feet, 106.2 exit velo.) to see the White Sox and raise them 1.
RBI singles by Anthony Santander (1 for 4, 1 RBI) in the 6th and Jorge Mateo (1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 SB) in the 7th finished what Mountcastle started.
Cedric Mullins went 1 for 3 with 2 runs scored and a walk.
Austin Hays went 1 for 3 with a double and a run scored.
Adley Rutschman went 0 for 2 with a run scored and 2 walks, extending his on-base streak to seven games.
Starter and winning pitcher Austin Voth (4-1) held the White Sox in check, allowing 2 runs (on the Jiminez homerun) on 7 hits while walking 3 and striking out 3 over 5.2 innings.
Felix Bautista earned his 9th save with a 1.2 inning appearance in which he struck out 3, threw a wild pitch and hit a batter.
