Orioles make it 3 in a row with 5-2 win over Cardinals

Baltimore finally achieved a three-game winning streak on Monday, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2. 

Dylan Carlson’s three-run drive in the fourth off Erick Fedde (3-4) put the Orioles up 5-0. Forty-one year old Charlie Morton (1-7) took a shutout into the fifth before allowing a two-run shot by Pedro Pagés. 

Carlson played four-plus seasons for the Cardinals before being traded to Tampa Bay last July. He’s 6 for 34 on the season, but his homer Monday was his second in two days.

It's the Orioles' first three-game streak of the season, cooling off the recently red-hot Redbirds.

Baltimore sends Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) to the mound Tuesday night against Andre Pallante (4-3) of the Cardinals.
