Orioles Top the Rays 6-1 After Baz Strikes Out Season-High 9, Basallo Hits a 3-Run Homer
- On Tuesday night, Shane Baz struck out a season-high 9 and pitched 7 innings of one-run ball as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 at Camden Yards, with Samuel Basallo's 405-foot three-run homer providing the decisive blow.
- Baltimore capitalized on walk-off wins on Sunday and Monday to extend momentum heading into the Rays rematch, aiming to reverse a difficult May start during this vital 10-game homestand.
- Baz threw 37 knuckle curves matching his fastball count while utilizing all five pitches, striking out the side in the third after Junior Caminero's 117 mph hit, eliminating the dangerous mistakes that plagued him earlier in the season.
- Rays starter Griffin Jax was struck by a 107-mph line drive in the second inning and departed with a bruised back, leaving Tampa Bay's depleted bullpen to absorb the remainder after the previous day's 13-inning game.
- Wednesday's series finale features RHP Chris Bassitt against Rays LHP Steven Matz , with the Orioles seeking a rare sweep and potential surge to close May after a difficult homestand start.
