Rutschmann has big hit in Orioles' 6-3 win over White Sox
CHICAGO (AP) -- Adley Rutschmann gave Baltimore the lead with a three-run double in the seventh inning in the Orioles' 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
The Orioles tagged the Chicago bullpen for all six runs to win for the fourth time in their last five outings.
Jake Burger homered and Eloy Jiménez drove in a run in his return from the 10-day injured list for Chicago, which has dropped three straight and six of eight.
The Orioles trailed 3-0 after six, but rallied with four runs in the seventh, capped by Rutschman's three-run hit off reliever Reynaldo López (0-1) that gave them the lead for good. Cedric Mullins started the comeback by drawing a bases-loaded walk from Jake Diekman.
Baltimore tacked on two more in the eighth after three consecutive doubles off Jimmy Lambert. Ryan O'Hearn just called up from Triple-A Norfolk drove in Jorge Mateo in the inning.
Mike Baumann (1-0), the first of four Orioles relievers, got the win. Yennier Cano, who like O'Hearn was just called up, threw 1 and 2/3rds scorless innings. Félix Bautista worked the ninth for his fourth save in five chances.
Mike Clevinger allowed just one hit while striking out five and walking five in the first six for the White Sox, but the comeback erased his shot at winning for the third time in as many starts.
Tyler Wells lasted 5 1/3 innings for Baltimore after giving up five hits and three runs, including Burger's second homer of the season.
ROSTER MOVES
Chicago recalled LHP Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte while sending RHP Jesse Scholtens there and claimed utility player Nick Solak off waivers from Seattle on Friday afternoon. RHP Matt Foster (right flexor strain) was placed on the 60-day injured list.
The Orioles recalled RHPs Yennier Cano and Spenser Watkins from Triple-A Norfolk before the game and placed LHP Keegan Akin on the paternity list. Starter Cole Irvin was optioned to Norfolk after Thursday's win over Oakland after going 0-2 with a 10.66 ERA in his first three starts. Manager Brandon Hyde said the left-hander accepted the assignment in stride.
TRAINER's ROOM
Orioles: OF Anthony Santander was back in the lineup after missing two starts with a sore back.
White Sox: Jiménez (left hamstring strain) was the designated hitter in the cleanup spot. He'll likely be the DH for a few more games before getting an outfield start. … The club placed 3B Yoán Moncada (lower back) on the 10-day injury list before the game. He's missed three straight games and will be eligible to return April 21.
