Baltimore Orioles win series against Tampa Bay Rays

The Baltimore Orioles secured a series victory against the Tampa Bay Rays, winning three of the four games played at Tropicana Field. The series included a 6-5 win on Friday to snap the Rays' nine-game winning streak, a 4-3 extra-inning victory on Saturday, and a dominant 10-2 win on Sunday.

During the Saturday extra-inning game, Tyler O’Neill hit a decisive 10th-inning single to lead Baltimore to a 4-3 win. Pete Alonso contributed a home run and faced a brief injury scare when he appeared to limp after his hit, though manager Craig Albernaz later clarified it was merely a right calf cramp.

On Sunday, the Orioles' offense exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning, fueled by hits from Colton Cowser, Jackson Holliday, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, resulting in a 10-2 victory. The Orioles are currently pursuing a final American League Wild Card spot.
