Orioles beat Indians — again

CLEVELAND

Brad Bergesen pitched a two-hitter for his first win in nearly three months and the surging Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 3-1 Wednesday night.

The Orioles won their fourth in a row and moved to 8-1 under new manager Buck Showalter. They became the last team in the majors to reach 40 wins this season.

Bergesen (4-9) held the Indians hitless until Luis Valbuena singled with two outs in the fifth inning. Asdrubal Cabrera singled with two outs in the ninth for Cleveland’s other hit.

Bergesen won for the first time in 13 starts. He had gone 0-7 with a 6.65 ERA and was sent to the minors for two weeks in June since his last win for the Orioles, on May 12 against Seattle.
