Tied at 3 in the seventh inning, Baltimore finally knocked Rays starter Jacob Faria out of the game. After Seth Smith drew a leadoff walk on Jose Alvarado, Manny Machado bunted for a base hit off of reliever Jumbo Diaz.
"There's always something good happening from something like that," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Machado's bunt. "Good things seem to follow. I thought that was a big part of the inning. Just the atmosphere of the inning seemed to kinda lean our way."
Indeed it did.
