It is tough enough to sweep a doubleheader in the major leagues. Winning twice by shutouts? Well, the Baltimore Orioles hadn't pulled off that trick in 41 years.
Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of four-hit ball to win his fourth straight decision, and the Orioles breezed past the Cleveland Indians 8-0 Sunday night to complete a doubleheader sweep.
In the afternoon game, Ubaldo Jimenez tossed eight crisp innings and Baltimore got home runs from Jimmy Paredes and Manny Machado in a 4-0 victory.
The sweep boosted the Orioles to the top of the AL East by percentage points over Tampa Bay.
