Orioles fend off Reds in ninth inning, win 2-1

Jorge Mateo and Adley Rutschman belted solo homers, and left-hander John Means allowed just three hits over seven shutout innings as the visiting Baltimore Orioles held off a late rally to beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Saturday. Making his first start of the season after missing the first month with a strained left forearm, Means (1-0) overpowered the woeful Cincinnati offense in nearly identical fashion to what teammate Cole Irvin, also a eft-hander, did the previous night.
