ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles are looking down at the rest of the AL East — and the All-Star break is in the rearview mirror.
Fun times for Colton Cowser and company.
Cowser hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series between the American League’s top teams.
“I think tonight was a great team win,” Cowser said after his 11th major league game.
Baltimore started the day in first place for the first time after the All-Star break since Aug, 15, 2016.
