BOSTON —

Ryan O’Hearn and Dylan Carlson each hit a solo homer and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Sunday to salvage a split of the four-game series that was interrupted by two rainouts.

The victory gave Baltimore its first consecutive wins since April 30 and May 2 after it earned a split of the day-night doubleheader Saturday by winning the second game.

Jarren Duran had four singles for the Red Sox and highly touted prospect Marcelo Mayer earned his first major league hit — a single — and added a double.

It was the second straight game that Boston’s offense has struggled after it learned Alex Bregman, one of its better offensive players, was lost for a while with a strained right quadriceps.

The Orioles won for just the third time in 13 games.

Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman left the game after taking a hard foul off the mask.

Orioles starter Dean Kremer (4-5) allowed seven singles in 5 1/3 innings.

Starting after getting ejected early in his previous start, Walker Buehler (4-2) gave up two runs in five innings.

Carlson hit his first homer with the Orioles into the right-field seats to make it 2-0.
