BALTIMORE (AP) — Rookie Dylan Beavers drove in the winning run for a second straight day, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Pirates 3-2 on Thursday to finish a three-game sweep and hand Pittsburgh its sixth straight loss.

Jackson Holliday singled and stole his 16th base to lead off the seventh against Colin Holderman (0-2). Gunnar Henderson was walked intentionally with one out and Holderman left after striking out Emmanuel Rivera.

Evan Sisk entered and Beavers singled on a 3-2 pitch for a 3-2 lead. Beavers singled in the winning run in the 10th inning for a 2-1 victory on Wednesday.

Jared Triolo singled to lead off the first against Cade Povich before scoring on a two-out base hit by Nick Gonzales to put the Pirates up 1-0.

Jeremiah Jackson had a one-out single off Johan Oviedo in the Orioles’ first and Henderson followed with his career-high 31st double. Rivera tied it 1-1 with a groundout.

Colton Cowser drew a leadoff walk in the second, stole his 10th base and scored on a two-out single by Coby Mayo to put the Orioles up 2-1.

Alexander Canario led off the third with his sixth home run — a 409-foot shot to left field — to pull the Pirates even.

Povich allowed two runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Rookie Grant Wolfram (3-0) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win and Keegan Akin pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
