Keegan Akin, Seranthony Dominguez and Felix Bautista combined to work two scoreless innings for Baltimore in a combined seven-hitter.

All the game's scoring came on home runs. The Orioles produced their runs with a total of seven hits.

Henderson's first home run of the season came in the first inning for the game's first run.

Schneeman and Hedges opened the third with back-to-back home runs. Two of Hedges' three hits this season have been homers.

O'Hearn's three-run shot, his third homer of the season, came with two outs in the third and put Baltimore ahead 4-2.

There were five hits in the game's first three innings, and four were home runs.

Kjerstad's two-run shot came with two outs in the sixth for a 6-2 lead.
