MLB news: Orioles earn fifth straight playoff berth
The Baltimore Orioles sewed up their fifth consecutive place in the playoffs with a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Orioles, who are looking to win their fifth straight American League East Division crown, have made the postseason six of the past seven years.
With their 88-65 record, Baltimore tops the AL East by 6.5 games over the Boston Red Sox with nine games left on the schedule.
The Orioles record ranks as third base in the AL, with the Central Division-leading Detroit Tigers running away with the top spot with their 97-57 ledger.
Despite their recent run of success, Baltimore has not reached the World Series since 1983 when they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies.
