It is Friday night.
The Orioles have finally, mercifully picked up their 30th win of the 2018 season on this night, July 27, with a 15-5 drubbing of the Rays. Not one but two Rays position players were called upon to pitch in the contest. Adam Jones, Danny Valencia, and Jonathan Schoop had “Please trade for me!” games with three hits apiece.
Schoop homered for a fifth straight game and drove in three runs. Jones also had a homer, his first since June 2, and drove in four runs.
