Baltimore Orioles,Washington Nationals,Craig Kimbrel

Jorge Mateo drove in the go-ahead run with a 12th-inning single, and the Baltimore Orioles survived another shaky outing by closer Craig Kimbrel to beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 and avoid being swept for the first time in nearly two years. The Orioles blew two-run leads in the ninth and 11th.

Kimbrel blew a save for the third time in his last five outings, and it could have been four had he not been bailed out by Yennier Cano in a 2-1 win at Cincinnati on Saturday. He began the ninth with a 3-1 lead and retired the first two Washington batters before Eddie Rosario took him deep to right-center.

Anthony Santander also homered off Nationals rookie left-hander Mitchell Parker, who had not allowed a longball in his previous four major league starts.
