ST. LOUIS (AP) Brendan Donovan doubled home two runs and scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday for a three-game sweep.
“That was fun,” Donovan said. “This was a great series sweep for us.”
The game had a 1 hour, 25 minute rain delay in the middle of the fourth inning.
Earlier Wednesday, Nolan Gorman homered in the completion of a suspended game that St. Louis won 3-1. Gorman drove in all three St. Louis runs, and Lance Lynn pitched six solid innings on Tuesday night before the game was suspended because of rain in the middle of the sixth.
It was the first series sweep this season for the Cardinals, who have won eight of their last 10 games.
“They haven’t been swept in a couple of years,” Winn said. “This was something this team needed. To put it all together against a really good team felt great.”
