This one got weird.
Need evidence? How about the fact that the Orioles’ starter went only three batters? Or that the Tampa Bay Rays dropped and booted balls to give Baltimore life in its attempt to escape an early deficit? How about a ninth-inning rally underneath a blackening sky and swirling winds, while Orioles broadcaster Kevin Brown made “Wizard of Oz” allusions? How about a weather delay that stopped this mad affair the moment the Orioles completed their comeback?
Yes, this one was strange.
And in the end, it ended up being a memorable afternoon, as the Orioles staged a ninth-inning rally before taking down the Rays 7-6 in the finale of the teams’ three-game weekend set Sunday afternoon.
