MIAMI — The Orioles eked out a 7-6 win in the series finale vs. the Marlins, with Ryan Mountcastle driving in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning to avoid a series sweep before Cionel Pérez silenced Miami’s offense in the bottom of the frame.

But just five innings prior, Baltimore couldn’t have imagined the situation it would be in. The O’s scored in each of the first four innings, taking a 6-0 lead.

On the mound, Corbin Burnes shoved for a season-high 7 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits for his Major League-leading 18th quality start of the season.

But things got sticky in the ninth inning, when Craig Kimbrel blew the save and gave up three runs (one earned). After an infield single, when rookie Connor Norby tripped on the infield grass and missed the catch, Kimbrel loaded the bases with one out. Josh Bell delivered the game-tying hit with an RBI single that caused the O’s to go to Yennier Cano.
