The Orioles didn’t make winning look easy Wednesday night. In fact, their 5-4 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Rays was downright ugly.
Despite several defensive lapses far beyond the five errors they were charged with, the Orioles won on Trey Mancini’s two-run double in the ninth inning off Rays reliever Sergio Romo at Tropicana Field.
After Mark Trumbo and Danny Valencia opened the inning with back-to-back singles, Mancini turned on a 3-1 slider, sending it past a diving Mallex Smith in left field and off the wall, scoring both runners and giving the Orioles the lead.
