CLEVELAND — Zach Eflin won his second straight start since joining Baltimore's rotation and Gunnar Henderson had three hits and an RBI as the Orioles stopped Cleveland's five-game winning streak, beating the Guardians 7-4. Eflin cooled off the AL Central-leading Guardians, holding them to two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander was acquired from Tampa Bay on July 26 for three minor leaguers. Baltimore's Adley Rutschman had a pinch-hit, two-run triple in the eighth inning when the Orioles scored four times to take a 7-2 lead. Baltimore stayed tied with the New York Yankees atop the AL East. José Ramírez and rookie Angel Martínez hit two-run homers for the Central-leading Guardians, who still have the majors' best record at 67-43.
