The Orioles nearly completed a weekend sweep of the Rays before the bullpen gave it away on Sunday. Dillon Tate allowed consecutive singles and a two-run double in the eighth inning, and Tampa spoiled the party with a 4-3 victory.
Baltimore may not have completed the sweep, but the rotation continued to impress without Dean Kremer and John Means. The Birds recently announced that Means and Tyler Wells will miss the remainder of the season with UCL injuries. Kremer will be eligible to return from the injured list on Wednesday, but it’s unclear if the Orioles will send the righty on a rehab assignment.
