The Orioles earned their AL-best 82nd victory
of the season, one behind their win total from 2022. Baltimore
has won eight of 10 overall, while the White Sox have lost eight
of 12.
Ryan O'Hearn and Gunnar Henderson had two hits each for the
Orioles.
Chicago managed just one hit in six innings against Rodriguez.
Luis Robert Jr. doubled with two outs in the fourth to end a run
of 11 straight White Sox retired to start the game.
Rodriguez (4-3) set down the next five White Sox before walking
Korey Lee in the sixth, the only other baserunner he yielded.
Rodriguez struck out six.
O'Hearn provided all the offense the Orioles needed with a
two-run single to center in the third inning. After stranding
three runners against White Sox starter Michael Kopech in the
first two innings, the Orioles capitalized to take a lead they
wouldn't surrender.
Baltimore produced its third run behind small ball. Ryan McKenna
walked with one out in the fourth, stole second base and
advanced to third on a flyout to center field. McKenna scored on
a Kopech wild pitch.
A single and walk preceded a Mountcastle RBI single that put the
Orioles ahead 4-0. McKenna hit a two-run single in the eighth
ahead of Santander's homer.
Kopech needed 95 pitches to complete four innings. He fell to
5-12 after scattering four runs and seven hits with four walks
and five strikeouts.
Robert was 2-for-3 for the White Sox. Orioles relievers Jacob
Webb, DL Hall and Shintaro Fujinami spaced one hit, one walk and
two strikeouts in the final three innings.
Baltimore is assured of at least a split of the season series
with Chicago. The visiting Orioles won two of three against the
White Sox from April 14-16.
