Masyn Winn had a double, a homer and two runs
scored as the Cardinals erased a 3-0 deficit. St. Louis has won
eight of its last 10 games.
Earlier Wednesday, the Cardinals defeated the Orioles 3-1 to
finish a game suspended Tuesday night by rain.
Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Gibson allowed three unearned
runs on five hits in four innings in Wednesday's scheduled game.
He struck out three batters and walked none.
John King (1-1) earned the victory with two scoreless innings
and Ryan Fernandez earned his first save after allowing one run
in the ninth.
Baltimore starting pitcher John Means threw three scoreless
innings while allowing one hit and two walks. Cole Irvin (4-2)
took the loss for the Orioles, who have dropped four of their
last five games.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected by home plate umpire
Charlie Ramos in the third inning after protesting called
strikes.
St. Louis third baseman Nolan Arenado's fielding error in the
third inning opened the door for the Orioles. Gunnar Henderson's
RBI single, Ryan O'Hearn's run-scoring groundout and Anthony
Santander's RBI single put Baltimore up 3-0.
After rain interrupted the game in the fourth inning, the
Cardinals cut their deficit to 3-1 in the fifth. Winn hit a
double and scored on Lars Nootbaar's single.
Baltimore miscues helped the Cardinals surge ahead 4-3 in the
sixth inning.
Arenado hit a one-out single, then Dylan Carlson's would-be
double-play grounder eluded Henderson at shortstop. Donovan hit
a two-run double, took third on the throw home and scored on
catcher James McCann's throwing error.
Winn's homer leading off the seventh inning pushed St. Louis'
lead to 5-3.
Singles by Austin Hays and Cedric Mullins followed by pinch
hitter Kyle Stowers' sacrifice fly got the Orioles within a run
in the ninth inning.
