After scoring a combined two runs in successive defeats and uncertain about the status of their hard-hitting first baseman, the Baltimore Orioles are limping into their showdown with Tampa Bay for first place in the AL East. Richie Palacios homered, rookie Drew Rom and four relievers combined on a three-hitter and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Baltimore 1-0 Wednesday night to trim the Orioles' lead in the division to two games.

Brandon Drury had three hits, Lucas Giolito picked up his first win in an Angels' uniform and Los Angeles snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 7-5 over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. “We played well,” said Angels manager Phil Nevin, who let out a giant exhale of relief before beginning his postgame remarks.

Bo Naylor had his first career two-homer game and drove in three runs as the Cleveland Guardians beat Kansas City 5-1 on Tuesday night, handing Royals pitcher Zack Greinke his 16th consecutive road loss.
