ST. PETERSBURG -- Jake Bauers' two-run single led the Rays to a 5-4 win over the Orioles on Thursday night at Tropicana Field.
Tampa Bay's win allowed the team to finish the homestand with a 5-4 mark and moved the Rays to 58-57 for the season.
Willy Adames singled to lead off the Rays' seventh before Mallex Smith and Matt Duffy drew consecutive two-out walks to load the bases for Bauers.
Bauers swung at the first pitch he saw from Cody Carroll, a 96-mph fastball, and lined the ball into the right-center-field gap to score two, putting Tampa Bay ahead to stay.
