Held essentially in check through six innings in Chicago, the Baltimore Orioles did all their scoring in the seventh and eighth innings on the way to a 6-3 win over the White Sox. Key to the victory was a three-run double off the bat of Adley Rutschman (1 for 2, 3 RBI, 3 BB) in the seventh.

Prior to Rutschman’s double was a bases loaded walk to Cedric Mullins (1 for 3, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 SB) that started the scoring.

Doubles in the eighth by Jorge Mateo (1 for 1, 2 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 BB) and Ryan O’Hearn (1 for 2, 1 RBI) completed the scoring for the Orioles.

Tyler Wells started and gave the Birds a 5.1 inning effort, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits (1 HR), walking 1 and striking out 3.

Mike Baumann (1-0) finished the sixth inning by walking 1, striking out 2 and throwing a wild pitch and was credited with the win.

Felix Bautista earned his 4th save with a 1 walk, 3 strikeout ninth inning.
