The Baltimore Orioles continued their winning streak by defeating the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Wednesday night. Colton Cowser’s two-run homer in the eighth inning proved to be the game-winner, breaking a tie and securing the Orioles’ sixth consecutive victory.
Cade Povich delivered a stellar performance on the mound, pitching six scoreless innings in just his second big league outing for Baltimore. Despite Matt Olson’s two-run homer for Atlanta in the eighth inning, the Orioles managed to regain the lead thanks to Cowser’s clutch home run.
This win marks the Orioles’ sixth straight victory, as they continue to impress even in the face of injuries to key pitchers like John Means and Tyler Wells. The pitching staff has been resilient, allowing just nine runs throughout the winning streak.
Offensively, Baltimore got on the board in the third inning with two runs against Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach. Cedric Mullins and Jorge Mateo played key roles in manufacturing runs for the Orioles, who capitalized on a defensive error by the Braves to take an early lead.
Povich, who struggled in his debut against Toronto, bounced back with a strong performance against Atlanta. Despite allowing some hits, he managed to keep the Braves off the scoreboard and strand multiple runners on base.
Looking ahead, the Orioles aim to complete a three-game sweep of the Braves with Cole Irvin taking the mound in the next game against Reynaldo López.
The Orioles’ winning streak and impressive performances from their young players have been the highlights of their recent success. With key players stepping up in crucial moments, the team looks poised to continue their winning ways in the days to come.
