Ramón Urías had two hits and drove in a run for
the last-place Orioles, who limited Chicago to five runs in the
three games. Baltimore's three-game winning streak matches its
longest of the year.
Mike Tauchman homered for the White Sox, who have lost six of
seven and fell to 6-26 on the road.
Morton (2-7) gave up one unearned run and six hits over 6 2/3
innings. The 41-year-old has won his past two starts after
beginning his first season with the Orioles with an 0-7 record
and a 9.38 ERA.
Morton left to cheers from many in the crowd of 33,037 after
being booed loud and often in April.
Gregory Soto replaced Morton and immediately allowed a solo
homer to Tauchman, but Baltimore held on. Bryan Baker worked the
ninth for his second career save, the first since 2022.
Houser (1-1) was striving to become the first pitcher in
franchise history to make three straight scoreless starts to
begin his career with the White Sox. After throwing six shutout
innings against both Seattle and the Mets, the right-hander gave
up three runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Baltimore went up 2-0 in the third, ending Houser's run of
scoreless innings at 14. Urías drove in a run with a single and
Ryan O'Hearn delivered a sacrifice fly.
After Andrew Benintendi singled and scored on an error in the
sixth, Baltimore answered in the bottom half with an RBI double
by Dylan Carlson.
Key moment
Chicago had the tying run at second with two outs in the sixth
when Morton struck out Edgar Quero.
Key stat
A walk to O'Hearn in the sixth gave Baltimore 136 straight games
with at least one walk, the longest current streak in the majors
and second longest in Orioles history.
Up next
White Sox: RHP Jonathan Cannon (2-6, 4.15 ERA) starts Monday
night against the visiting Detroit Tigers.
Orioles: After a day off, the Orioles send Tomoyuki Sugano (
4-3, 3.23) to the mound Tuesday night in Seattle.
