Orioles Tag Cardinals with 5-1 Loss
Zach Eflin pitched a gem to lead Baltimore to victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1. Keegan Akin was credited with the save for Baltimore, his 2nd of the season. The Orioles are now 25-23, while the Cardinals fall to 19-31.

Baltimore took a 5-1 lead on Emmanuel Rivera's 2nd home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Rivera hit in the top of the ninth, left St. Louis pitcher Kyle Gibson visibly frustrated.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Baltimore manager Juan Apodaca.
