Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a 7-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night, avoiding a four-game sweep. Pinch-hitter Jonny DeLuca delivered a crucial two-run single in the seventh inning, shifting the momentum in favor of the Rays. The Rays' lineup was impressive, with Yandy Díaz, Ryan Vilade, and Jorge Mateo each hitting a home run.

Mateo’s two-run shot in the fourth inning, which was his first home run for the Rays, put Tampa Bay ahead 4-3. Coby Mayo's 468-foot home run and Pete Alonso and Christian Encarnacion-Strand's other home runs contributed to the Orioles' 6-5 lead before DeLuca's go-ahead hit.

Jonathan Aranda's RBI single and Bryan Baker's final save sealed the victory for the Rays.
