Overview

  • Dylan Beavers led off the ninth with a first-pitch home run off Kevin Kelly, and Keegan Akin earned the win with a scoreless top of the inning.
  • Rays reliever Jesse Scholtens struck out nine over 5 1/3 innings, but his eighth-inning wild pitch allowed a run that fueled Baltimore's rally.
  • Reliever Rico Garcia escaped a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the eighth to keep the game within reach at 5-2.
  • The Orioles announced they claimed right-hander Carson Ragsdale from the Braves and designated reliever Dom Hamel for assignment.
