It’s not everyday that a team gets to end another team’s 10-gam winning streak. Today was that day as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-4.
The Orioles were a fun story watching them aspire to climb out of the basement of the AL East. At least for one night, they are reminded of where they fall in the rank and file of the best division in baseball.
Luis Patino started for the Rays after being reinstated from the 60-day IL from a left oblique strain. Things got off to a shaky start as Patino found himself with the bases loaded in the first inning after walking Ryan Mountcastle and hitting Austin Hays with a pitch with two outs.
