The Baltimore Orioles stretched their lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East to 2 1/2-games with Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians.
The Guardians’ Triston McKenzie, activated from the 60-day injured list before the game, issued a career-high six walks in 1 2/3 innings.
McKenzie was 11-11 with a 2.96 ERA last season, but strained his shoulder in his last start of spring training and was sidelined until June 4. McKenzie returned to the injured list after two starts because of an elbow sprain. Jordan Westburg started Baltimore’s scoring with an RBI double in the second. Jorge Mateo followed with a run-scoring groundout and Anthony Santander drew a bases-loaded walk, ending McKenzie’s outing.
Rutschman had an RBI double in the fourth and Cedric Mullins added a run-scoring single in the fifth.
