Orioles ace John Means didn’t have his best stuff tonight against the Rays. In fact, he didn’t have a single clean inning in the game. But somehow, he made it work. The left-hander fought his way through five innings and gave his team a chance to win.
Baltimore’s offense showed up too, with a mix of power and clutch hitting to post a handful of runs on the board. But the Rays are a really good baseball team, and that showed through despite a strong effort by the Orioles.
The evening started with Means getting into and out of a jam in the first.
