Behind potent lineup, O’s aim for sweep of Pirates (Jun 07, 2017)

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles will look to continue their power surge and complete a two-game series sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday at Camden Yards.

Jonathan Schoop hit two of the Orioles’ four home runs in a 6-5, 10-inning victory over Pittsburgh in the series opener Tuesday.

“This is a good team,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Baltimore. “The Orioles have found a way to win a lot of games over the years. They’re a perennial contender. Offensively, they provide you with some challenges. They swing big and play pretty solid defense.”

With the series opener, Baltimore began a stretch of 20 consecutive games in as many days.
