CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyle Bradish held Cleveland to two harmless singles in seven innings and Cedric Mullins homered on Shane Bieber’s first pitch, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Bradish had his second straight dominant performance. He and hasn’t allowed a run in 15 straight innings.

Cionel Pérez worked a perfect eighth and rookie Félix Bautista finished the two-hitter for his 11th save.

The Orioles took two of three in this series between playoff hopefuls. Baltimore held Cleveland without a run over the final 21 innings.

The Guardians’ lead in the AL Central shrunk to one game over idle Minnesota.
