BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles haven’t had many shining moments this season — except against the New York Mets.
Chris Davis, Adam Jones and Tim Beckham each homered to back a strong performance by starter Andrew Cashner, and the Orioles beat New York 6-3 on Tuesday night to snap a five-game skid.
Baltimore won both games against the Mets at Citi Field on June 5-6 and can complete the season sweep Wednesday.
Cashner (4-10) retired 10 consecutive batters before Jeff McNeil singled on a ground ball that caromed off first base in the fourth. Cashner allowed two runs and five hits with three strikeouts and three walks over seven innings.
