The Orioles welcomed their division rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays, to Camden Yards following their opening series sweep against the Minnesota Twins.
Baltimore was plagued with unseasonably cold weather, but that did not stop the O’s bats from heating up at all. Bad analogy aside, the Orioles scored 11 runs with five home runs in the rain shortened two game series.
Game One: Orioles: 6, Rays: 1
Chris Tillman was pegged at the starter for the opener of the series due to his Opening Day appearance being shortened to two innings because of a rain delay right before the 3rd inning.
