KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ryan Mountcastle hit two-run homers in consecutive innings and finished with five RBIs to lead the Orioles to a 11-7 win over the Kansas City Royals. Adley Rutschman had four hits and drove in a run for Baltimore, which won for the 16th time in its last 20 games. Tyler Wells earned the win by allowing three hits over six innings. They were all homers: Bobby Witt Jr.’s leadoff shot, a two-run homer by MJ Melendez later in the first and a solo home run by Salvador Perez, who added a two-run shot off Mike Baumann in the seventh. Ryan Yarbrough took the loss for the Royals.
