Jorge Mateo smacked a three-run home run in his first action in nine days and five Baltimore pitchers combined on a five-hitter as the Orioles returned from an eight-game road trip to defeat the visiting Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Tuesday night.

Albert Suarez worked 5 1/3 shutout innings to help the Orioles to their fifth consecutive victory and their 15th win in their past 19 outings.

The Braves have lost four straight games for the second time this season.

Atlanta starter Max Fried (6-3) lasted five-plus innings, and he was charged with four runs on six hits. His personal three-game winning streak ended.

The Braves put two runners on base with two outs in the seventh before Austin Riley struck out. They stranded 11 total runners for the game.

Suarez (3-0), who walked three and struck out four, allowed four hits, but two of those were back-to-back singles by Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna just before the right-hander left the game in the sixth. Jacob Webb came on in relief and escaped the jam.

Yennier Cano (one-third of an inning), Cionel Perez (one inning) and Dillon Tate (one inning) also pitched in relief.

Baltimore's Austin Hays posted three hits. Ozuna had two of Atlanta's hits.

In the second inning, Fried was ahead in the count on three consecutive batters, but he issued a walk to Anthony Santander and gave up a single to Hays before Mateo's three-run blast on an 0-2 curveball. It was Mateo's fourth long ball of the season.

Mateo hadn't played since June 2, when he exited a game against the Tampa Bay Rays after teammate Cedric Mullins inadvertently hit him with his backswing in the on-deck area.

The Braves had three baserunners but just one hit and no runs through two innings. The threat included Michael Harris II leading off the game with a triple and never making it home.

In the sixth, the first three Baltimore batters reached base, with Ryan Mountcastle walking and later scoring on a single by Hays. The Orioles then had runners at second and third with no outs, but Pierce Johnson came out of the Braves' bullpen and escaped the jam.
