Kyle Hendricks (2-2) followed up his one-hit,
eight-inning effort at San Francisco last week by yielding two
runs on five hits in five solid innings Friday.
Austin Hays had two hits with two RBIs and Ryan O'Hearn totaled
three hits for the Orioles, who totaled 42 runs while winning
six of the previous seven but were held mostly in check Friday.
The Orioles' bullpen also yielded seven runs over four innings.
Baltimore starter Cole Irvin (1-3), who allowed just two homers
in his first 18 1/3 innings this season, was bitten by the
long-ball bug in the third. Amaya led off with his second career
homer, well into the left-field bleachers. Then with two outs,
Swanson and Morel went back-to-back.
Those were the only runs allowed by Irvin, who gave up five hits
and struck out four while pitching into the fifth.
Baltimore finally scored in the fourth when O'Hearn doubled and
scored on Hays' smash single to left. That ended Hendricks'
scoreless streak at 14 2/3 innings. The Orioles got within 3-2
in the fifth on Jorge Mateo's RBI double.
However, the Cubs broke it open in the sixth versus Baltimore's
Mike Baumann, Cionel Perez and Reed Garrett. Ian Happ delivered
a two-run single and scored on Hoerner's hit off Garrett. Morel
added a two-run double and Seiya Suzuki finished the burst with
his RBI single. It was the fourth straight game Chicago scored
four or more runs in an inning.
The Cubs reached double-digit runs for the third time in those
four contests on Hoerner's RBI infield single in the seventh.
The Orioles completed the scoring on Hays' second RBI single of
the day one inning later.
