The Orioles responded to being swept in Pittsburgh by winning all three games against the White Sox in Chicago. Their record is 6-6 as they wait to begin a weekend series against the Giants at Camden Yards.

The panic button gets a rest.

The bullpen covered the last four innings in a 5-3 victory. Tyler Wells worked around a walk and hit batter in the sixth. A 6-4-3 double play bailed out Grant Wolfram in the seventh after an infield single and hit batter. Anthony Nunez retired the side in order in the eighth, and Rico Garcia earned his first major league save in his first opportunity in his 65th game.

Garcia issued a four-pitch leadoff walk and fell behind 3-0 to the next batter. He got two strikeouts, issued another walk and induced a routine ground ball to extend his scoreless and hitless streak to his first six appearances.

What else?

*The second inning bit Kyle Bradish again today, but not as hard.

In his previous start in Pittsburgh, Bradish allowed all four of his runs in the second. He threw 35 pitches and was done after the fourth.

The White Sox strung together five consecutive hits today with one out in the second inning, which began with Colson Montgomery’s strikeout.

Andrew Benintendi tripled into the right field corner, where Tyler O’Neill had to chase down the ball. Dustin Harris singled on the next pitch at 80.1 mph, stole second base and scored on Luisangel Acuña’s ground ball up the middle.

Reese McGuire followed with a single into left field at 70.1 mph, and the White Sox loaded the bases on Tristan Peter’s drag bunt single. Chase Meidroth grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to keep the score 2-0.

Bradish induced one whiff among the first 16 swings. He got on a roll and retired seven in a row, and he had six strikeouts through the fourth.

*But then, this happened …

A two-out walk loaded the bases in the fifth and the White Sox scored the go-ahead run when Bradish missed the throw from Adley Rutschman, perhaps in frustration.

Meidroth alertly ran home while Bradish was slow to retrieve the ball as it rolled behind the mound. Bradish fired it over Rutschman’s head, giving him two errors on the play.

Andrew Benintendi struck out on Bradish’s 96th pitch, the first time in three starts that the right-hander completed the fifth.

*Taylor Ward took over the major league lead with his seventh double in the third inning, and it scored Gunnar Henderson after a leadoff walk against former University of Maryland pitcher Sean Burke.

Ward ran the count full, as he so often does, and it happened while he was batting second for the first time this season.

Henderson moved into the leadoff spot. Ward singled in the first inning, and he doubled again in the seventh and ninth, the latter scoring Henderson and raising his average to .383 with a 1.038 OPS.

This is the same guy who didn’t have a four-hit game in eight seasons with the Angels and has done it twice with the Orioles.

Ward has doubled in four consecutive games and seven of eight. Three two-baggers today tied his career high. He hasn’t hit his first Orioles home run, but they’ll take everything that he’s bringing to the plate.

*Dylan Beavers drew his first walk in his ninth game and 29th plate appearance, putting two runners on base in the second inning. He had 26 walks in 35 games after the Orioles promoted him in August.

Beavers made his second start in center field. Colton Cowser went to the bench after a 4-for-22 start to the season.

Cowser was 4-for-12 with two walks after April 1.

*Pete Alonso doubled with one out in the sixth. He was 1-for-22 on the road trip and 1-for-25 going back to the last game of the Rangers series at Camden Yards before lining Lucas Sims’ sweeper into left-center field at 100.6 mph.

O’Neill singled, Ryan Mountcastle walked, and Alonso scored on a passed ball. Beavers had a left-on-left sacrifice fly for a 4-3 lead.

O’Neill has a hit in four straight games. He also walked and was hit by a pitch today.

Note: The Dodgers announced that long-time second baseman Davey Lopes passed away today at age 80.

Lopes was the Orioles’ first base coach from 1992-94 under manager Johnny Oates.
