Tyler O’Neill’s 10th-inning single sends Orioles to 4-3 win over Rays
Tyler O’Neill’s 10th-inning single helped the Baltimore Orioles secure a 4-3 victory over the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays in a Game 1 of a four-game series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday night. Pete Alonso and Christian Encarnacion-Strand also homered for Baltimore, contributing to their win. The Orioles, who currently hold the last position in the AL East, have won the first two games of their matchup with the Rays.
Christian Encarnacion-Strand initiated scoring action for the Orioles in the bottom of the 10th with a line-drive single to center, scoring Colton Cowser. Baltimore’s relievers, led by Cam Sanders, preserved the win, striking out Cedric Mullins and Richie Palacios with two men on base.
The Rays managed to tie the game in the ninth inning, with Junior Caminero hitting an infield single to score from third base. Pete Alonso was subsequently examined by trainers after his 10th-inning single but remained in the game to hit another home run in the fifth. The Orioles' starting pitcher, Kyle Bradish, allowed two runs over six innings, while the Rays' Freddy Peralta surrendered seven hits, walked four batters, and struck out three.
