Jordan Walker's two-run single provided the
Cardinals with their first two runs and Donovan's drive off Cade
Povich in the fifth put St. Louis ahead 5-4.
Winn scored for the third time on a double by Iván Herrera in
the seventh.
On a wet, chilly day in Baltimore, the start of the game was
delayed by rain for 31 minutes. The rain continued long after
the first pitch, but by completing the game the teams avoided a
potential makeup on Thursday, a scheduled day off.
It all worked out for the Cardinals, who have won seven of their
last eight series. St. Louis is 18-5 since May 4.
Povich (1-4) struck out nine in 4 2/3 innings, but he allowed
five runs, eight hits and three walks.
Mikes Mikolas gave up four runs and nine hits in four innings
for St. Louis. His three-start winning streak ended, but the
right-hander is unbeaten in eight starts since April 12.
John King (2-0) worked the sixth inning and Ryan Helsley, the
sixth St. Louis pitcher, finished for his 12th save.
Jackson Holliday had three hits for the Orioles, who are 1-10 at
home since May 2.
Key moment
Donovan, who missed Tuesday's game with hip soreness, fell into
an 0-2 hole in the fifth before working the count full. On the
seventh pitch of the at-bat, he ripped a sweeper over the
right-field wall.
Key stat
Baltimore is 5-13 against the National League this year and has
lost all six series.
