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 to complete a three-game sweep. The Orioles had gone 106 consecutive regular-season series without being swept, a span of more than two years. Earlier Wednesday, the Cardinals beat the Orioles 3-1 in the completion of a game that began Tuesday night and was suspended because of rain. Nolan Gorman homered and drove in all three runs for the Cardinals in that game, and Lance Lynn got the win by allowing one run in six innings Tuesday night.
