Orioles’ muscles earn win

Mullins delivers walk-off homer

Cedric Mullins hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-2 win against Minnesota on Wednesday and a three- game sweep of the Twins. Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander also went deep for the Orioles, who have three or more homers in five consecutive games.

Pablo Lopez yielded Henderson’s leadoff homer in the first but was outstanding after that. He left after six innings and 87 pitches, having allowed a run and two hits with seven strikeouts.

Baltimore’s Albert Suarez worked 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his first big league appearance in seven years. Suarez, 34, was called up because scheduled starter Tyler Wells went on the injured list.
