The Orioles appeared to have a decent shot at salvaging a split Wednesday after Cedric Mullins hit a grand slam in that six-run third inning. Charlie Morton, battered as a starter so far this season, managed three solid innings of relief, allowing only one run.

Orioles outfielder Ramón Laureano was ejected from the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Minnesota after reacting angrily to a called third strike in the sixth inning.
