Cardinals Rally, O'Brien Struggles | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals clawed back from a seven-run deficit with a wild six-run fifth inning, led by Alec Burleson’s clutch single and his 12-game hitting streak — the longest in the NL. Despite the comeback, they fell 8-7 to the Orioles, as closer Riley O’Brien surrendered go-ahead runs in the ninth for the third straight outing.

Meanwhile, Michael McGreevy struggled early but settled down, while Nolan Gorman hit his first homer since June and Bryan Torres had a career-high three hits.
