Tomoyuki Sugano delivered six solid innings of three-run baseball to earn his seventh victory of the season as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Mets 7–3 on Thursday night, capping a doubleheader sweep at Camden Yards. Baltimore won the opener 3–1 on a late Gunnar Henderson home run before Jordan Westburg’s two-run shot highlighted a five-run burst in the nightcap. The sweep gives the Orioles another series win and momentum heading into the All-Star break after a sluggish June for Sugano, who has adjusted his mechanics to regain command. In Minneapolis, Seiya Suzuki went 3-for-5 and scored twice to lead the Chicago Cubs past the Minnesota Twins 8–1, preventing a three-game sweep. The right fielder lifted his batting average to .263 while remaining one RBI behind the league lead. Chicago backed starter Jordan Wicks with four home runs, handing Minnesota its first home loss in six games.
