Cedric Mullins hit two home runs as the visiting Baltimore Orioles ended a three-game losing streak by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.

Mullins hit a solo shot in the first inning, then hit a two-run homer in the third. Both home runs came against Boston starting pitcher Kutter Crawford.

Adley Rutschman drove in two runs for Baltimore (83-63). The Orioles, who scored seven runs over their previous five games, had 10 hits in Tuesday's victory.

Crawford (8-14) gave up three runs on seven hits before he was pulled with one out in the seventh inning. He struck out six and walked one. Boston has lost the past five times Crawford has taken the mound.

Baltimore starter Albert Suarez (8-5) pitched six innings and held Boston to one run on four hits. He walked two and set a career high by recording eight strikeouts. The Red Sox (73-72) have scored one run in 12 innings against Suarez this season.

Seranthony Dominguez gave up a single and struck out two in a scoreless ninth to earn his 10th save of the season. Boston hitters struck out 13 times for the game.

Mullins made it 1-0 when he belted his 16th home run of the year with one out in the first inning. His 17th home run came after Gunnar Henderson drew a two-out walk in the third, and that blast extended Baltimore's lead to 3-0.

Boston trimmed its deficit to 3-1 when Connor Wong and Triston Casas hit back-to-back doubles with two outs in the fourth. Wong had two of Boston's seven hits.

The Orioles added two runs in the seventh on a bases-loaded single by Rutschman that scored Henderson and Anthony Santander to make it a 5-1 game.

Baltimore's lead was sliced to 5-3 in the eighth. Masataka Yoshida's double drove in Jarren Duran before Tyler O'Neill scored on a Yennier Cano balk.
