Orioles aim to snap losing skid, remain in playoff hunt, as homestand continues against the Rays

Despite losing five of their last seven games, the Tampa Bay Rays remain on top of the American League East Division standings as they begin a six-game road trip on Friday night as they swing into Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the first game of a three-game weekend set against the Baltimore Orioles. After briefly taking possession of the final Wild Card spot in the AL, the Orioles have lost four games in a row after being swept by the Yankees and have lost four in a row at home as they turn to veteran left-hander Trevor Rogers (8-8, 4.15 ERA) in search of his third win of August.

In his first season in Baltimore, Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso leads the team in home runs and RBIs and ranks sixth in Major League Baseball with 82 runs batted in so far this season. Alonso, the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year, signed a free agent deal with the Orioles in the offseason and is now one home run shy of his sixth consecutive 30-homer campaign.

The Rays will start former Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta (5-10, 5.27 ERA), who was acquired at the trade deadline, in search of his first win with the club in four starts. Peralta sent eight seasons in Milwaukee where he won 70 games, but has now been traded twice in eight months after failing to regain the form he held in 2025 when he won a career high 17 games and posted a career best 2.70 ERA.
