Jordan Westburg had three hits, including a homer, Cedric Mullins added a two-run shot and Charlie Morton allowed two runs in his return to Atlanta to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 win over the Braves on Friday night.

Morton (5-7) improved to 5-0 in 10 appearances, including seven starts, since May 10. Morton, who pitched for the Braves for four years before signing a one-year deal with the Orioles, threw five scoreless innings before giving up a two-run homer to Drake Baldwin in the sixth.

Westburg returned to the lineup after aggravating his left index finger on Friday and made an immediate impact. After reaching on an infield single in the first inning, Westburg snapped a scoreless tie in the third with an opposite-field homer

Galvis joined the Orioles in 2021 one-year, $1.5 million contract. The O’s were coming off the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season during which they went 25-35. In 2019, the last full season before COVID, Baltimore went 54-108.

Somehow, things got just a bit worse in 2021.

Galvis, a middle infielder by trade, lasted 72 games with the Orioles and slashed .249/.306/.414 with nine home runs and 26 RBI. Baltimore traded Galvis back to the Phillies at the trade deadline for minor league pitcher Tyler Burch.

In the message he thanked his family, friends, coaches and teammates. He tagged each of the five MLB teams he played for.

He had not played in the Majors since 2021. He played in 2022 and 2023 with the NPB Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks and in 2024 for Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League.
