ST. LOUIS (AP) — Spencer Torkelson had a pair of hits, walked twice and drove in a run to help the Tigers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Wednesday for Detroit’s 15th win in its past 20 games.

Brant Hurter allowed one hit in three scoreless innings in his second career start, and Chase Lee (1-0) followed with two scoreless innings to earn his first major league win as the Tigers used six pitchers in a bullpen game.

Andre Pallante (4-3) allowed three runs and four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings for his first loss at home since Sept. 10, 2024, against Cincinnati.

Willson Contreras had an RBI single to center field off Brenan Hanifee to score Victor Scott II in the sixth inning and cut Detroit’s lead to 3-1.

The Tigers added two runs in the eighth on Trey Sweeney’s sacrifice fly and Javier Baez’s RBI single.

In the fourth, Torkelson lined a double to the right-center field warning track that bounced off the glove of Jordan Walker to score Riley Greene and expand the Tigers’ lead to 2-0.

Key moment

Pallante issued one-out walks to Torkelson and Greene before Colt Keith flied out to left field in the top of the sixth to end Pallante’s day. Dillon Dingler stroked a single to left field off Phil Maton to put the Tigers ahead 3-0.

Key stat

St. Louis lost by more than one run for the first time since falling to the New York Mets 9-3 at home on May 2.

ORIOLES 8, BREWERS 4,

11 innings

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Adley Rutschman hit a three-run homer to highlight Baltimore’s four-run outburst in the 11th inning as the Orioles snapped an eight-game skid by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 8-4 on Wednesday.

Baltimore ended its longest losing streak since August 2021, when it dropped 19 straight games. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino earned his first win in his fifth game since taking over for Brandon Hyde, who was fired Saturday.

Milwaukee had tied the game on Caleb Durbin’s two-out RBI single in the ninth against Felix Bautista, who was pitching on back-to-back days for the first time this year after missing the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery.

After Baltimore’s Ryan O’Hearn and Milwaukee’s Jackson Chourio hit RBI singles in the 10th, the Orioles broke through against Tyler Alexander (2-4) in the 11th.

The Brewers open a four-game series at Pittsburgh. Mike Burrows (0-0, 0.00) pitches for the Pirates today. The Brewers haven’t announced a starter.
