Overview
- The Rays rallied for a four-run eighth inning to beat the Orioles 5-3 and complete a three-game sweep on Wednesday at Tropicana Field.
- Jonathan Aranda hit a two-run double to tie the game and Richie Palacios followed with a two-out, go-ahead single that produced the decisive rally.
- Orioles starter Shane Baz, facing his former team, allowed one run in six strong innings with six strikeouts but was tagged with the loss.
- Hunter Feduccia hit his first major-league home run to give Tampa Bay an early lead and newly acquired Oliver Dunn scored as a pinch runner in his Rays debut.
- The sweep gives the Rays their MLB-best sixth series sweep and extends their run to 21 wins in 25 games while Yandy Díaz's left-hand hit-by-pitch remains under team observation ahead of the Yankees trip.
