BALTIMORE (AP) — Noelvi Marte hit his first career grand slam off Orioles infielder Jorge Matero and had seven RBIs, Austin Wynn drove in a career-high six and the Cincinnati Reds embarrassed the Baltimore Orioles 24-2 on Sunday.
Marte finished with five hits including his homer off Mateo, who entered during the eighth inning of the blowout to spare Baltimore's bullpen. Wynn added a three-run homer off catcher Gary Sanchez in the ninth for a Reds team that pounded out 25 hits.
Austin Hays finished 4 for 6 to complete his first series against his former team 8 for 14 with five RBIs.
Elly De La Cruz hit a solo shot off struggling Baltimore starter Charlie Morton (0-5), who allowed seven runs over 2 1/3 innings in his shortest outing since September 2023.
Taylor Rogers (1-0) worked the fifth inning of a bullpen game for the Reds, and Randy Wynne pitched three innings for his first career save.
Adley Rutschman homered late for Baltimore.
Key moment
It was only a one-run game in the bottom of the second when shortstop De La Cruz sprung to his left and made a soaring grab to deny Jackson Holliday a single up the middle and likely RBI.
Key stat
Wynn's previous best was four RBIs for San Francisco in a 12-10 win over Atlanta on June 21, 2022.
Up next
Reds: Cincinnati continues its first nine-game road trip in Miami on Monday, with left-hander Nick Lodolo (2-1, 2.31 ERA) taking the mound for the visitors.
Orioles: After an off day, Baltimore begins a six-game road trip with a three-game set at the Washington Nationals. Dean Kremer (2-2, 6.41) will make his fifth start for the O's.
