In their victory, the Orioles utilized seven different pitchers, all but one of whom allowed at least two hits.

The O's have a 90-51 record after their latest win. Being 4.0 games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East, they are the first American League team to reach 90 wins. They are unmistakably headed for the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and their first playoff berth since 2016.

After the St. Louis series, the Orioles will visit the Rays for a four-game series. Baltimore maintains a three-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East.

With a loss, the Cardinals' winning streak of 15 consecutive campaigns came to an end, dropping to 63-81. At this point in 2023, the Orioles have triumphed over each other major league team at least once.

Toronto is the only other squad to have accomplished that. Due to the more evenly distributed schedule, this is the first season it has been possible.

Two of the Orioles' top stars, Adley Rutschman and Henderson, both singled in the fifth innings as the team was down 5-3. After walking Ryan Mountcastle to load the bases, Hudson was removed.

One out later, Ryan O'Hearn doubled home a run. Baltimore took the lead after Mullins hit his 14th home run of the season, and Henderson added a solo shot in the next innings.
