Orioles Swept for 1st Time in 106 Regular-Season Series with Loss to Cardinals

The Baltimore Orioles were swept for the first time in 106 regular-season series on Wednesday after they dropped a pair of games to the host St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1 and 5-4.

St. Louis began the series with a 6-3 win on Monday. The Cardinals and Orioles then played five-and-a-half innings on Tuesday before heavy rain forced the game's suspension with the score tied at one. The two squads finished that one Wednesday, and the Cardinals won thanks to Nolan Gorman hitting a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth.

The Cardinals then overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the final game of the three-matchup set.
