The Orioles let another close game slip away as Colin Selby gave up the go-ahead run in the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Angel Martínez had three hits, José Ramírez homered and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 Tuesday night for their fourth win in five games since the All-Star break. Kyle Manzardo and Bryan Rocchio each drove in a pair of runs as the Guardians have won 10 of 12 after a 10-game losing streak to get back to .500 at 50-50.

The Baltimore Orioles face the Cleveland Guardians in the third game of a 4-game set at Progressive Field in Cleveland Wednesday.

The Guardians twice came back from a deficit to beat the Orioles, 10-5, on a night in which Cleveland collected 14 hits.

The Guardians took the second of the four-game series with the Orioles, 6-3, a day after winning the opener, 10-5. Cleveland is on a three-game winning streak, 4-1 in the past five and 8-2 over the last 10, so the Guardians are getting hot, while the O’s are 1-6 in the last seven.

The Guardians are now 4-1 since the All-Star break and 10-2 since their 10-game skid following a second consecutive win against the Orioles.

The Guardians used a left-handed starter and stacked nine lefties and/or switch-hitters in their lineup to beat the Orioles on Tuesday.
