LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colton Cowser tied his career-high with four RBIs, Pete Alonso added a three-run homer, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 12-1 on Sunday.
Cowser had three hits including a home run as he notched four RBIs for the fifth time in four seasons in the majors, helping the Orioles take the series win over the Dodgers.
Brandon Young (6-2) allowed one run on five hits in five innings. Baltimore is now 10-2 this season when he starts.
Emmet Sheehan (3-5) gave up six runs in 3 1/3 innings as Los Angeles lost consecutive games for the first time since a four-game skid from May 9-12.
The Orioles jumped on Sheehan in the first inning by loading the bases before Samuel Basallo’s single through the gap to right and Cowser’s bloop to short left each drove in a run for a 2-0 lead. Taylor Ward had a solo homer in the second to put Baltimore up 3-1.
Cowser hit a solo shot to dead center in the third for a 4-1 lead and had a two-run single with the bases loaded to make it 6-1 off reliever Jack Dreyer after Sheehan had been pulled earlier in the fourth.
