BALTIMORE (AP) Kevin Gausman took a two-hitter into the eighth inning to earn his first win of the season, and the Baltimore Orioles extended Tampa Bay's losing streak to nine games with a 5-0 victory Saturday in the opener of a split doubleheader.

Gausman (1-5) was lifted after giving up a pair of singles in the eighth. The right-hander went 7 2/3 innings, striking out seven with no walks in his 13th start of the year.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd of 18,229 as he walked off the mound following his 113th pitch.

Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop had two hits, scored twice and backed up Gausman with two outstanding defensive plays, including one in which he snagged a grounder in short center field and threw out the runner at first.

Matt Andriese (6-1) gave up two runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings for Tampa Bay. The right-hander was unbeaten in 10 starts since last June 22.
