The Baltimore Orioles are making a very real push in the AL East.
The Orioles, fresh off the franchise’s second ever four-game series win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, now hold a two-game lead over the Rays in the division entering the last stretch of the season.
It marked the 12th win in 15 games for the Orioles, who haven’t been to the playoffs since 2016 and trailed the Rays in the division by 6.5 games at the start of the month.via MLB.com ."And [I'm] just really proud of all of our guys' efforts. Everybody contributed. We did a lot of things well this series, and hopefully, we can keep it rolling."
The Orioles beat the Rays by a single run after Colton Cowser hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to kick off the series on Thursday. While they got shut out on Friday, the Orioles bounced back after nearly blowing a 5-0 lead on Saturday for a 6-5 win. That officially gave them the lead in the AL East.
First baseman Ryan O’Hearn hit a solo home run in the sixth inning on Sunday night to break a 3-3 tie and give Baltimore the lead. O’Hearn drilled the left-field foul pole with his 331-foot shot, which marked the shortest home run on the team this season and just his fourth career homer against a lefty.
