BALTIMORE (AP) Chris Tillman pitched effectively into the eighth inning to earn his seventh consecutive win, Ryan Flaherty drove in two runs and the Baltimore Orioles extended the Kansas City Royals' losing streak to seven games with a 4-0 victory Wednesday night.

Tillman (8-1) allowed eight hits over 7 1/3 innings, matched his career high with nine strikeouts and walked none. The right-hander is unbeaten in 10 starts since April 14, 6-0 at home and tied for second in the AL in wins.

Brad Brach got the final five outs to earn his second save and help the Orioles complete their first three-game sweep of Kansas City since May 2011. Baltimore has won four straight and seven of eight.

The Orioles took control with a four-run fifth inning against Edinson Volquez (5-6).
