DeLuca’s 2-Run Single in the 7th Inning Lifts the Rays to a 7-6 Win over the Orioles

Jonny DeLuca’s seventh-inning single capped a Rays rally after three Baltimore homers, and Tampa Bay won 7-6 to avoid a four-game sweep.

  • On Monday in St. Petersburg, pinch-hitter Jonny DeLuca delivered a go-ahead, two-run single during a three-run seventh-inning rally as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-6, avoiding a four-game sweep at Tropicana Field.
  • Reinstated Monday from the injured list, Rays starter Shane McClanahan yielded three runs over 3 1/3 innings in his first outing since July 30. Both teams traded leads throughout the contest, with Baltimore's Coby Mayo, Pete Alonso, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand each hitting home runs.
  • Yandy Diaz, Ryan Vilade, and Jorge Mateo also homered for Tampa Bay, keeping the game competitive before the seventh-inning surge. Baltimore starter Brandon Young allowed four runs on eight hits across four innings, including three home runs.
  • Left-Hander Cam Booser earned his first win in a Rays uniform after tossing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. All-Star Bryan Baker subsequently secured his majors-leading 35th save, retiring the final five batters to preserve the one-run victory.
  • The Orioles return to Camden Yards on Tuesday to face the New York Yankees, while Tampa Bay hosts Toronto. RHP Nick Martinez takes the mound for the Rays, carrying a 12-3 record into his next start.
