Overview

  • Tampa Bay opened the second half with an 11-1 victory over Baltimore in the opener of the three-game series at Tropicana Field.
  • Orioles starter Charlie Morton was tagged for six runs in just over five innings after posting a 2.76 ERA over his previous eight starts.
  • Rays first baseman Yandy Díaz delivered a grand slam and Junior Caminero hit two home runs to fuel Tampa Bay’s 12-hit attack.
  • Young right-hander Taj Bradley limited Baltimore to three hits across six shutout innings, snapping Tampa Bay’s late-first-half skid.
  • Baltimore’s lineup was held scoreless after the second inning, extending their drought to 28 innings without a run and halting their push under Mansolino.
