It wasn’t pretty, but the Baltimore Orioles made their initial 9-1 lead hold up, as they held on for a 10-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The O’s hammered Rays starter Matt Moore for 9 runs on 12 hits in the first 5 innings of the game. The Orioles bullpen struggled to maintain the lead until veteran closer Jim Johnson shut the door on the Rays in the bottom of the 9th inning, giving the O’s a much needed win as they prepare to return home to face the Los Angeles Angels.
