Game 1: The Rays routed the Orioles 11-5 in the first game of their doubleheader thanks to a 6-run first inning. Dayle Jenkins had an RBI double, Jasson Dominguez an RBI triple and Connor Kirkley a 2-run HR (#14) to cap off the inning. The Rays continued to tack on runs throughout, including Nate Clark's 30th HR of the year and three more triples. Joe Barker missed the cycle by a home run as the offense was spread among the entire team except for Gabriel Moreno, who was the only one without an RBI (he did draw 2 walks). Barker, Clark and Dominguez had 3-hit games. Marc Wagner started and was dominating Baltimore early until he ran out of gas and started pitching to the score, allowing 4(!) homers in a 6.2 5 5 5 3 10 performance which was still good enough for his 3rd win in 4 starts as a Ray. Rodolfo Rivas came in to pitch again and was great, going 1 1/3 and striking out 2 batters, while Steve Givens got through the 9th scoreless.

Game 2: The Rays took the nightcap thanks to the strong pitching of Andy Aparicio, getting a spot start due to the doubleheader. AA went 6 4 2 2 0 9, and was 2-hitting the O's through 6 before giving up a Druw Jones homer and a single and giving way to Jordan Diaz, who got the next three batters to end the Baltimore threat. Aparicio is now 6-0, 2.94 with an incredible 5/63 BB/K ratio through 52 innings. He'd be the ace on probably half the teams in the league but here he's our 6th starter. Corbin Martin and Jasseel De La Cruz each had a scoreless inning to close out the game. The bats got another quick start with a pair of runs in the 1st on an RBI double from Rodolfo Rivas and an RBI single from Jasson Dominguez, but the game stayed 2-1 until the 6th when Victor de Jesus hit what should be the first of many MLB homers, a 2-run shot that made it 4-1. Dominguez added an RBI triple in the 8th, giving him a 5-hit day between the two games, and scored on Dane Ayers' sac fly.

Game 3: They just keep on rollin' as the Rays scored 6 times in the 10th inning to take a 10-4 win over Baltimore behind 5 homers. Four of them came in regulation to account for their four runs: Joe Barker (#15) in the 2nd, Jasson Dominguez (#17) and Victor de Jesus (#2) in the 7th to give them a 3-2 lead, and after Baltimore went back ahead in the 7th Gabriel Moreno (#7) tied it up in the 8th. In extras, the Rays kept the turnstiles spinning and scored on Ricky Widmar's sac fly after Moreno hit a double putting men on 2nd and 3rd, Barker and Dominguez singled in runs, and then Bobby Witt Jr broke out of a mini-slump with a 3-run jack (#8). Christian Little started and pitched quite well except for a couple of homers which cost him, a 2-run CJ Chatham blast in the 3rd and a 2-run homer from Lewis Brinson in the 7th when he probably shouldn't have still been in there as he went 7 6 4 4 2 8. Jose Alvarado had a 1-2-3 8th, Jasseel De La Cruz pitched around two walks in the 9th and picked up win #4, and Mike Mooney struck out the side in the 10th after allowing hits to the first two batters.

Game 4: Alec Sachais was almost untouchable today as he and Corbin Martin combined on a 1-hitter in a 5-1 win over Baltimore to sweep the 4-game series. Bryson Stott was the only Oriole to reach base today, homering off Sachais in the 3rd and later drawing a walk. The Rays righty went 7 1 1 1 1 11 to improve to 12-2, and Martin had two perfect innings in relief. Dayle Jenkins gave the Rays all the runs they'd need with a 3-run HR (#13) in the 3rd, Carlos Perez brought a run home with a sac fly in the 4th, and Joe Barker hit #16 in the 8th to cap a 3-hit, 2-steal day.

Team record: 65-19. Next up: We head up I-95 to the Bronx to take on the Yankees for 3 games.
