The magic number for the Baltimore Orioles to clinch the AL East is seven. They were just a few outs in St. Pete from it being six, but the Rays came back to score two runs in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Angels 5-4. Thanks for nothing, Angels! Once again, the Orioles will just have to take care of business themselves.
They have the right man on the mound for just that. Grayson Rodriguez is coming off of an incredible game against the Rays last Saturday in which he pitched eight shutout innings in a game the Orioles desperately needed to win.
