BALTIMORE (AP) — Jeremiah Jackson hit a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.
Tyler O'Neill homered for the Orioles in the second inning, then Baltimore didn't have another hit until the eighth when Jackson came up.
With the Cubs up 2-1, Tyler Ferguson (0-1) allowed a walk and a hit batter with one out. That set up some managerial chess, with Baltimore sending lefty-swinging Dylan Beavers up to pinch-hit, only for Chicago to replace Ferguson with left-hander Ryan Rolison. Then the Orioles sent up the right-handed Jackson to hit for Beavers.
Jackson sent a drive to the gap in right-center field. Gunnar Henderson scored easily, and Pete Alonso barely beat the throw home with a head-first slide.
Tyler Wells (2-1) won in relief despite allowing an RBI double by Seiya Suzuki in the top of the eighth. Suzuki also homered in the sixth.
Andrew Kittridge worked the ninth for his second save, and Baltimore avoided a three-game sweep. Henderson made an error at shortstop to start the inning, but Nico Hoerner was caught stealing when his slide took him off the base at second.
Pinch-hitter Michael Conforto lined out to left with a man on second to end it, just as it was beginning to rain hard at Camden Yards. The game was moved from the night to the afternoon because of the possibility of bad weather.
Cubs starter David Peterson allowed 10 runs in his previous start against St. Louis. But like they have against many left-handers this year, the Orioles couldn't do much against him. He allowed a run and two hits in five innings.
Baltimore lefty Trevor Rogers allowed a run and five hits in six innings. He's allowed two runs in 24 1/3 innings over his past four starts.
The Cubs are at Cincinnati on Friday night. Shota Imanaga (5-7) takes the mound for Chicago against Hunter Greene (0-1).
The Orioles host Kansas City. Brandon Young (7-2) starts for Baltimore against Luinder Avila (4-3).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Five people were shot Thursday in a trendy Washington, D.C., neighborhood within walking distance of the White House, police said, and a swarm of officers responded to a nearby apartment building where a suspect was barricaded.
The suspect, who later shot himself, is believed to have been in conflict with the building homeowners’ association.
At least one person shot at a gym died in a pool of blood, a witness said.
The shootings were reported in Logan Circle, about a mile north of the White House. Much of the block on 15th Street was cordoned off as police urged people to avoid the area, which includes a VIDA fitness center, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, residences and a Whole Foods supermarket. Schools were on lockdown.
Law enforcement SWAT teams and other officers had their guns drawn on the roof of an apartment building or on the ground below.
Authorities believe the suspect shot at least one person inside the gym before going outside and firing again, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
Law enforcement agents believe the suspect shot another person in a parking garage elevator and then barricaded himself on the seventh floor of the building, the official said.
Witness James Spellman, who was at the gym, said there were about 50 people there around 8 a.m. when the shooting began.
“Within seconds there was a man who fell to the ground, and a pool of blood came out," he said. "One gym member rushed to help him. He was instantly dead. He had been shot in the neck.”
Spellman said he and others dashed out of the gym. He said he heard about two shots fired in the gym and about five or six fired outside.
Another witness, Ryan Dubicki, said he was in his nearby apartment around the same time when he “heard about five bangs.”
“They were really spread out so I thought it was construction,” he said. A short time later "there were cops everywhere.”
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it sent agents to the scene to help. And the FBI said its Washington field office was helping local police with the investigation.
The neighborhood has seen violence before. In early August 2025, a onetime member of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted early on a Sunday morning in the Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman, authorities said.
Days later, Trump fulfilled his threat to bypass local authority and imposed direct federal control over the city, sending in hundreds of National Guard members to reduce crime. That deployment continues today.
