Nick Martinez allows 1 hit in 6 innings as Rays avert sweep with win over Orioles
Nick Martinez put on a stellar performance, allowing just one hit over six innings as the Tampa Bay Rays secured a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, preventing a three-game sweep. Junior Caminero and Chandler Simpson added RBI singles in the decisive sixth inning to solidify the Rays' defensive efforts. Martinez (13-4) retired 18 of the 19 batters he faced, with only Colton Cowser's third-inning double marking a minor setback.
The Rays' pitching staff worked perfectly, with Booser, Kelly, and Baker contributing to the victory. Baltimore struggled all game, managing only three hits and failing to record a walk in their 122th game.
