Desmond Jennings gave the Rays a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the third. After extending his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the second, Mark Trumbo answered with an RBI single in the fourth off Rays starter Jake Odorizzi that tied the score.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Dodging trouble: Odorizzi had struggled in the early parts of games this season, allowing a total of nine runs in the first and second innings of his previous four starts. The second inning looked like more of the same when Trumbo singled to center with one out and J.J. Hardy followed with a double to left. Would Odorizzi's early-inning troubles continue? Not Tuesday night. He struck out Pedro Alvarez then retired Jonathan Schoop on a flyout to center to end the inning. Odorizzi allowed just one run in five innings while earning a no-decision.
Jimenez's big mistake:The O's righty, who has probably been the team's best starter among an underachieving rotation, took the mound in the sixth having allowed just one run. But with two outs and an 0-2 count, just one strike shy of escaping, Jimenez surrendered a fateful two-run shot to Kiermaier. Still, Jimenez gave the Orioles their first quality start in five games.
