BALTIMORE (Interstat) — Reynaldo López pitched 5 2/3 strong innings and Dominic Smith drove in two runs as the Atlanta Braves outlasted the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 in 11 innings Sunday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The Braves improved to 62-43, while the Orioles fell to 51-55. The win gave Atlanta a split of the three-game series after Baltimore won 3-2 on Saturday and the Braves won 7-6 in 10 innings on Friday.

Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Michael Harris II led off with a single and reached second on a fielding error by center fielder Colton Cowser. After a flyout moved Harris to third, Smith singled to left to drive him in.

The Braves made it 2-0 in the fourth. Matt Olson led off with a double, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on Smith’s second run-scoring single. Smith finished 3 for 5.

López held Baltimore scoreless through 5 2/3 innings, allowing five hits while striking out six and walking one. He did not allow an earned run. It was a rebound performance after López lasted only 4 1/3 innings and gave up five earned runs in a loss to San Diego on July 21.

Baltimore finally broke through in the eighth inning. Pete Alonso led off with a solo home run to left, his 22nd of the season, cutting the lead to 2-1.

The Orioles tied the game in the ninth. Christian Encarnacion-Strand walked, and after a strikeout, Leody Taveras reached on a fielder’s choice. A fielding error by second baseman Ozzie Albies allowed Coby Mayo to reach third. Jackson Holliday then grounded out to second, scoring Mayo to make it 2-2.

Both teams had chances in extra innings. In the 10th, Atlanta stranded a leadoff walk, and Baltimore left two runners on after a double play.

The decisive moment came in the top of the 11th. With Jorge Mateo on base after a pinch-running appearance, Austin Riley doubled to right field, driving in Mateo for a 3-2 lead. Riley’s double was his 14th of the season.

Atlanta added a sacrifice bunt and an intentional walk but could not extend the lead.

Tyler Kinley pitched the bottom of the 11th for the Braves. He intentionally walked Jackson Holliday with two outs to load the bases but got Sam Huff to ground out to third to end the game. Kinley earned the win, improving to 6-4. He pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings with one strikeout.

Andrew Kittredge took the loss for Baltimore, falling to 1-3. He allowed Riley’s go-ahead double.
