Scott later hit Martin Maldonado, and that forced in the run to make it 4-2. Fletcher followed with a two-run double.

Baltimore starter Andrew Cashner went six innings and held the Angels to one run on four hits. Cashner was trying to break a three-game losing streak, and he has now gone six straight starts without a win.

The Orioles took a quick 2-0 lead in the first. Their first three batters singled, the last being a grounder to left from Manny Machado for the game's first run. Left fielder Justin Upton bobbled the ball, letting Machado go to second and Adam Jones move to third. Danny Valencia followed with a sacrifice fly.

The Angels cut it to 2-1 in the fourth. Upton lined a one-out double to right-center, moved to third on a Pujols grounder and scored when Andrelton Simmons singled.

Los Angeles threatened in the fifth, loading the bases with two outs, but Cashner struck out Upton after falling behind in the count, 3-0.

The Orioles then held the lead until the Angels rallied in the eighth. Los Angeles had previously lost 32 of 34 games when trailing after seven innings this season.
