Game 2: Raucous Crowd Propels Orioles to 7-0 Victory; Series Tied at 1
Behind a stellar performance from starter Adrián Nuñez, the Baltimore Orioles blanked the St. Louis Cardinals 7-0 to even the series at 1-1. In a game that saw Oriole Park at Camden Yards come alive, Nuñez delivered 7.0 innings of shutout ball, allowing only 2 hits and striking out 4. The Orioles' offense came alive, scoring early and often to secure their first win of the World Series.
Nuñez was in command from the start, and he got the support he needed. Left fielder Sean Van Doren set the tone with a double in the first inning, and center fielder Daniel Madden continued his power surge with a two-run homer in the fourth. Third baseman Javier Cisneros capped the scoring with a three-run homer in the eighth.
