JUPITER, Fla. -- Rookie outfielder William Ortega's one-out, run-scoring single in the 10th inning lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 victory Saturday over the Baltimore Orioles, snapping the Orioles' eight-game winning streak.

Ortega's game-winner to right field off a Kris Foster curve ball followed a single by Al Martin and a walk by Tony Mota.

Albert Pujols hit a solo home run for the Cardinals in the sixth off Buddy Groom. Jay Gibbons did the same for the Orioles in the fourth off Cardinals starter Matt Morris, who allowed three hits and struck out five over five innings, walking two.

Steve Kline, Dave Veres and Jason Isringhausen combined to hold the Orioles hitless with three strikeouts and a walk over the last four innings.

Baltimore starter Calvin Maduro gave up four hits and two walks in five shutout innings for the Orioles.

"I was confident I could drive in the run," Ortega, a native of Cuba, said through an interpreter, Cardinals teammate Eli Marrero. "Yes, I think I've had a good spring but I still have a lot of work to do. I feel like I'm on top of my game now and I'm happy to be here. The big thing is to stay here."
