Orioles’ bats support Matt Harvey in 7-5 win over Marlins
On a night when starting right fielder Anthony Santander was lost to a sprained ankle, the Orioles gave themselves a comfortable lead early and hung on for a 7-5 win over the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park on Tuesday night.
While it tightened in the middle innings, starter Matt Harvey was pitching with a lead all game thanks to a two-run double by Rio Ruiz in the first inning and solo home runs by Trey Mancini and Freddy Galvis in the third.
The 32-year-old right-hander earned his first win with the Orioles (8-9) by pitching five innings of three-run, eight-hit ball, breaking a streak of nearly 21 months without a win in the big leagues for the former All-Star.
