Craig Kimbrel tied Billy Wagner for seventh on the career list with his 422nd save, Anthony Santander had the first three-double game of his major league career and the Baltimore Orioles rode a seven-run second inning to a 9-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night. Salvador Perez tied his career high with five RBIs for the Royals, who tried to overcome a 7-0 deficit, and hit a game-ending flyout to Colton Cowser in front of the left-field warning track.
The first Baltimore batter homered, and so did the final one. The latter was a drive by Cedric Mullins that ended the game — and extended an impressive streak of power by the Orioles. Mullins hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday to beat the Minnesota Twins 4-2.
On their way to a 13-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, the Orioles scored nine runs in the sixth inning before their first out. Baltimore's lineup has looked formidable, scoring 24 runs in its first two games of this season, and that rally turned a 3-1 advantage into a 12-1 rout. “A bunch of guys doing a lot of great things there in that sixth inning,” manager Brandon Hyde said.
