The Orioles do not expect Austin Voth to work deep into games this year. The bullpen knows it must step up when Voth gets the nod, and the unit answered in a big way tonight. Nick Vespi led the charge, and Baltimore used a big inning to clinch a 5-1 victory over the Rays.
The Orioles seized control during a four-run fifth. Ryan McKenna laced a leadoff single after originally attempting to bunt for a base hit. Cedric Mullins followed with a bunt single of his own, and Rutschman loaded the bases after taking a breaking ball off the shin.
