Baltimore's Jorge Mateo also went deep, and Jordan Lyles threw
seven solid innings.
Cedric Mullins had two hits and two steals while Anthony
Santander recorded an RBI for the Orioles, who are amid their
longest single-season winning streak since a 13-game run in
September 1999. After going 52-110 games in 2021, Baltimore is
44-44.
Urias matched a career high in hits and erased the Orioles' 2-1
deficit in the fourth inning with a two-run homer well up into
the left field bleachers, helping hand Chicago a fifth straight
loss.
Mateo, the Orioles' ninth-place hitter, had two hits and
provided some insurance with a solo homer in the seventh.
Lyles (6-7) yielded single runs in each of the first two innings
but no more. He gave up seven hits and a walk while striking out
five during his third consecutive quality start for Baltimore,
which has won 20 of its past 29 games.
Chicago went 8-4 while winning four straight series before being
swept in a four-game road set by the Los Angeles Dodgers over
the weekend, then failing to take advantage of an early lead on
Monday.
Two days after being named a first-time All-Star, Chicago's Ian
Happ homered just over the right field basket in the first for a
1-0 Chicago lead. The Cubs added another in the second when Nico
Hoerner doubled, stole third and scored on Afonso Rivas' single.
Baltimore got on the board in the third. Mullins singled, went
to second on a balk by Cubs starter Adrian Sampson (0-1) and
came home via Santander's two-out single to right field. After
Sampson walked Adley Rutschman in the fourth, Urias belted his
seventh home run.
Sampson allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in 5 1/3
innings. He struck out three.
Orioles All-Star closer Jorge Lopez earned his 17th save with a
perfect ninth inning.
