After seeing their unexpected 10-game win streak end on Friday night, the Baltimore Orioles bounced back in extras against the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday. That sets up an intriguing rubber game matchup at Tropicana Field, with both teams looking to close out the first half of the season with a series win.
After Friday's 5-4 win, the Rays were poised to wrap up a series win. But the Orioles forced extra innings, and after trading runs in the 10th inning, Tampa Bay couldn't match Baltimore's two 11th-inning runs as the O's closed out a 6-4 win.
In today's first half finale, two in-form pitchers will take the hill looking to go into the All-Star break on a winning note. Baltimore's Jordan Lyles has won his last two starts, and so has Tampa Bay's Corey Kluber.
