Drew Rom (1-2), an Oriole minor-leaguer when he
was sent to the Cardinals as part of the Jack Flaherty trade
last month, emerged with his first major league win. He went 5
1/3 innings and allowed two hits and three walks while striking
out seven.
Casey Lawrence (two-thirds of an inning), Giovanny Gallegos (one
inning) and John King (one inning) provided scoreless relief,
and Ryan Helsley worked the ninth for his 10th save. Baltimore's
Gunnar Henderson tripled with two outs in the ninth, but Helsley
got Aaron Hicks to pop out.
Baltimore starter Kyle Gibson (14-9) allowed one run on three
hits over 6 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out four.
The Orioles (91-54) lead Tampa Bay (90-57) by two games in the
American League East. The Rays visit Baltimore for a four-game
series beginning on Thursday.
After scoring 10 or more runs in four of five games, Baltimore
has scored a total of two in the past two contests while going a
combined 1-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
Baltimore first baseman Ryan Mountcastle left the game in the
third inning due to left shoulder discomfort.
Palacios broke a scoreless tie with two outs in the fourth when
he hit a first-pitch fastball from Gibson over the scoreboard in
right for his fourth homer of the season.
The Orioles had runners on first and second with one out in the
sixth. Anthony Santander doubled to knock Rom out of the game
and Austin Hays drew a walk from Lawrence. Jordan Westburg then
lined out to left and Henderson flied out to center.
St. Louis (65-81) got a walk and a single with two outs in the
eighth, but DL Hall struck out Tyler O'Neill to end the threat.
Ramon Urias walked with one out in the Baltimore eighth, but
King got Santander to ground into a double play.
