One of the only highlights of the Orioles’ ugly season has been watching right-hander Dylan Bundy emerge into one of the American League’s best pitchers, but even Bundy wasn’t immune from the team’s struggles Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Rays as he was roughed up for the first time this year in the Orioles’ 9-5 loss at Camden Yards.
Bundy entered the night having allowed just five earned runs over his first 31 2/3 innings spanning five starts — his 1.42 ERA ranked fourth in the AL — but on Thursday he allowed eight runs in 4 2/3 innings.
