Rays can't take advantage in 8th inning vs. O's

The submarining right-hander struck out Corey Dickerson and retired Steve Pearce on a fly out to right to start the inning. Brad Miller then stepped to the plate looking for his first hit of the season and came through with a double to right. Steven Souza, Jr. and Kevin Kiermaier then walked to load the bases.

"The way we handled O'Day, he's a very difficult pitcher to face," Rays manager Kevn Cash said. "And to get the bases loaded with some patience, it was good to see."

Cash opted to use switch-hitting Hank Conger as a pinch-hitter for Curt Casali.
