BALTIMORE (AP) – Carlos Martinez struck out eight over six sharp innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals hit a season-high five home runs in an 11-2 rout of the struggling Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Rookie Paul DeJong homered, singled twice, scored three runs and had three RBIs to help St. Louis snap a three-game skid.
Matt Carpenter and Dexter Fowler connected in succession to cap a four-run sixth inning, Tommy Pham hit a two-run drive in the seventh and Jedd Gyorko added a solo shot in the ninth.
Coming off a four-hit shutout against Philadelphia, Martinez (6-5) gave up one run and four hits. The right-hander has 45 strikeouts over his last five starts. Kevin Gausman (3-6) allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings.

Griswold senior cross country and track and field runner Joanna Topham announced this week that she will continue her running career at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo.
Topham had a strong senior year that propelled her to the opportunity to continue running at the next level. Topham took place medals in the 1500 and 3000 meter runs at the state track meet this season.
Topham will join brand new programs at Hawkeye CC for both cross country and track and field. She’ll join schoolmate David Thompson who also is joining the new programs for the Redtails.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith began his offseason lamenting a loss to Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Then he watched Kansas City drafted his heir apparent in the 1st round and cut one of his favorite options. To say it’s been a difficult few months would be an understatement, but Smith remains optimistic about the upcoming season.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon hit solo home runs and the Kansas City Royals picked up their fifth consecutive victory, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 Thursday night. The streaking Royals have been getting it done with power, clubbing 14 homers in this unbeaten stretch.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Keon Broxton and Eric Thames homered to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday night. Broxton drilled the first pitch he saw 489 feet into the left field seats to tie the game 2-2 in the second. It is the longest home run in Busch Stadium three’s history and the second-longest this season in the major leagues.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Hornish Junior will drive three Xfinity Series races for Team Penske this summer. Hornish will drive the Number 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang at Iowa Speedway on June 24th and July 29th. He will also race Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 12th. His most recent Xfinity Series win came in 2016 while driving for Joe Gibbs Racing at Iowa.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Keon Broxton and Eric Thames homered to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. Thames’ 18th of the season off Cardinals closer Seung Hwan Oh (1-3) in the ninth barely skimmed over the right field wall and broke a 4-4 tie as the Brewers won their second straight series against the Cardinals. Milwaukee had gone 0-15-2 in the previous 17 series.
Broxton drilled the first pitch he saw 489 feet into the left field seats to tie the game 2-2 in the second. It is the longest home run in Busch Stadium III’s history and the second-longest this season in the major leagues. Domingo Santana’s single scored Eric Sogard to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the third. For the second consecutive start, Brewers right-hander Zach Davies gave up four runs in five innings. He gave up nine hits and struck out one.
