BALTIMORE (AP) Jordan Westburg flicked a game-ending single inside the right field line in the 11th inning for his fourth hit of the day, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 on Saturday.

Gunnar Henderson tied the major league lead with his 12th homer of the season for the AL East-leading Orioles, and Anthony Santander went deep in the eighth to tie the game at 4-all.

ā€œI canā€™t say enough about Gunnar,ā€ Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. ā€œHeā€™s 22 years old and he is already really good and he is just going to get better and better.ā€

Craig Kimbrel (4-1) worked a scoreless 11th after a rough stretch in which the veteran closer failed to convert four of five save opportunities. He also pitched a scoreless seventh in Friday night's 4-2 win. Baltimore (26-12) has won seven of eight and has the second-best record in the majors behind Philadelphia.

Westburg hit an RBI double in the second and singled in the fourth and ninth before his well-placed walk-off hit against Bryce Jarvis (0-2), which scored automatic runner Colton Cowser.

ā€œWe wanted to win that for our bullpen,ā€ Westburg said. ā€œOur bullpen came in and threw some big-time innings. I just figured the more opportunities we had to score runs, we were going to push one across.ā€

Ketel Marte extended his hitting streak to 12 games and homered for the second consecutive day for the Diamondbacks, who havenā€™t won at Camden Yards since June 17, 2007.

ā€œItā€™s a little bit of a stinger,ā€ Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. ā€œThe beauty of the game is we get another shot at it tomorrow. We donā€™t have to wait very long. My expectation is these guys will shake it off.ā€

Ryan Mountcastle had a pair of doubles and a triple for Baltimore.

The Orioles loaded the bases with one out in the 10th, but Jarvis induced a double-play grounder from Cowser.

Baltimore left-hander John Means made his second start after missing the first month of the season with a forearm injury. After throwing seven scoreless innings at Cincinnati last week, Means was not as effective, allowing four runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings.

ā€œI think his stuff was not quite as good as the first time out,ā€ Hyde said. ā€œI expect it to be better next time.ā€

The Orioles took a 1-0 lead on a sharp, two-out double by Westburg off Ryan Nelson in the second.

Nelson allowed three runs and 10 hits with three strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings.

Marte gave the Diamondbacks a 2-1 lead with a two-run homer over the 13-foot tall left-field fence in the third. He leads the team with nine longballs.

Henderson went deep to right-center in the sixth to match Houston's Kyle Tucker and Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna for the big league lead.

TRAINERā€™S ROOM

Orioles: RHP Tyler Wells (right elbow inflammation) has not resumed throwing. ... ā€œHeā€™s still kind of shut down,ā€ manager Brandon Hyde said.

UP NEXT

The Orioles will send RHP Dean Kremer (3-2, 3.57 ERA) to the mound Sunday against RHP Zac Gallen (4-2, 2.84) as they seek a three-game sweep.
