It was another game in which the Orioles did seemingly everything they needed to beat the Tampa Bay Rays. And another game in which the Rays reminded the O’s and their fans that, you know what, it doesn’t really matter.
A team that has spent all season showcasing its ability to come from behind was at it again Saturday, as the Rays scored two runs in the seventh and then two in the eighth to erase a three-run deficit and beat the Orioles 4-3.
Baltimore has now lost 11 straight to Tampa Bay and 17 of 18 games, and this looked just like how a few of them have looked: the two teams are close early, the Orioles take a lead midway through, and the bullpen just needs to do its job to finish off the win.
