BALTIMORE — Trey Mancini hit the longest home run by a Baltimore Orioles player this season, Rougned Odor had a shot that landed on Eutaw Street and the Orioles beat the Guardians 5-4 on Saturday.

Austin Hays also homered for the Orioles.

José Ramírez and Andrés Giménez hit home runs for the Guardians.

Reliever Félix Bautista (2-1) earned the win and Jorge Lopez got the last four outs for his seventh save. The Guardians loaded the bases in the eighth, but Lopez retired Josh Naylor on a flyball to end the threat.

Guardians starter Triston McKenzie allowed five runs on just three hits with four strikeouts and three walks in seven innings. McKenzie has allowed eight homers in his past four starts.

Ramírez gave the Guardians a 1-0 lead in the first with a homer off Tyler Wells. It was his 14th homer of the season and league-leading 53rd RBI.

Mancini tied the score in the bottom half with a homer that traveled 438 feet.

Giménez gave the Guardians a 2-1 lead with a towering shot that traveled 418 feet and was the first to land on Eutaw Street this season.

Hays, who had a season-high 13-game hitting streak end the previous night, gave the Orioles a 4-2 lead with a three-run drive in the third.

Odor provided a 5-2 lead with another deep home run in the fourth that also landed on Eutaw Street.

Distance

It was just the third time in the history of Camden Yards that two homers landed on Eutaw Street in the same game and the first since 2012.

Trainer's room

Guardians: Catcher Austin Hedges (right quadriceps muscle) is expected to be back Sunday. “He might not have that blazing speed,” manager Terry Francona joked.

Orioles: Catcher Adley Rutschman got the day off after playing the previous night. The Orioles top prospect is batting .149 with a double and triple in 12 games since being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on May 21.
