Orioles’ offense breaks out just enough to survive wild 9th inning in 8-6 win over White Sox

CHICAGO — Coming off a series in which the St. Louis Cardinals held them to eight runs in three games, the Orioles matched that total in six innings Thursday night as their offense broke out of its recent slump to provide enough runs to prevent a four-run ninth inning from costing them an 8-6 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Baltimore (30-18) entered the game with a .280 on-base percentage in May, third lowest in the majors and only better than the last-place White Sox among American League teams over that span.
