The Tampa Bay Rays came into Sunday on a five-series winless streak and a six-series losing streak at Camden Yards against the Baltimore Orioles. They left those streaks behind in Baltimore after winning 2-0.
The game began with a quiet first inning for both teams. Christopher Morel’s leadoff single for the Rays was quickly erased when Adley Rutschman threw him out trying to steal second. Orioles’ starter Corbin Burnes then retired the next two batters, Jonathan Aranda and Jonny DeLuca, to keep things scoreless. On the other side, Zack Littell, starting for the Rays, worked around a single and an error by Taylor Walls to keep the Orioles off the board as well.
