Ryan O’Hearn belted a go-ahead three-run home run in the third inning of Baltimore’s 6-2 victory against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night, helping the host Orioles post back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Gunnar Henderson (two hits) and Heston Kjerstad also homered to support Baltimore starter Tomoyuki Sugano (2-1), who delivered seven strong innings to clinch a three-game series victory.

Daniel Schneemann and Austin Hedges homered for the Guardians, who have lost three of their last four games.

Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee (1-2) was charged with six runs in 5 2/3 innings. He allowed five hits and walked four with five strikeouts as the Guardians dropped to 4-8 in road games.

Sugano (2-1) yielded two runs on five hits without a walk and notched three strikeouts. He breezed through the sixth on 10 pitches and used 11 pitches to get through the seventh.

Keegan Akin, Seranthony Dominguez and Felix Bautista each worked a scoreless inning for Baltimore in a combined seven-hitter.

All the game’s scoring came on home runs. The Orioles produced their runs with a total of seven hits.

Henderson’s first home run of the season came in the first inning for the game’s first run.

Schneeman and Hedges opened the third with back-to-back home runs. Two of Hedges’ three hits this season have been homers.

O’Hearn’s three-run shot, his third homer of the season, came with two outs in the third and put Baltimore ahead 4-2.

There were five hits in the game’s first three innings, and four were home runs.

Kjerstad’s two-run shot came with two outs in the sixth for a 6-2 lead.
