Baltimore answered with two in the bottom half. Jonathan Villar drove in a run with a triple and scored on a Trey Mancini groundout.

Romine stretched the lead to 5-2 on a two-run double in the fourth before Tauchman made a leaping catch at the wall in left to rob Pedro Severino of a homer in the bottom of the frame.

The Orioles' Anthony Santander then lined a two-run homer to left off Stephen Tarpley that made it 5-4 in the fifth.

But Romine came through in the sixth with a leadoff homer against Tayler Scott. Tauchman added an RBI double in the eighth for a 7-4 lead.

Gardner and Maybin hit back-to-back solo homers in the ninth off David Hess for the final two runs.
