Bottom of O's lineup pounds Rays in big win

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles' bottom third of the lineup entered the third game of their four-game set with Tampa Bay without a member hitting above .220 on the season. By the final out of Saturday's 11-2 thrashing of the Rays, the trio raised their batting averages a collective 41 points.

Joey Rickard led the charge with two doubles and a homer for five RBIs on the night. Trey Mancini, who was everywhere at Camden Yards on Saturday -- both on the field and in the stands for his bobblehead night -- added another home run among four hits.
