The Tampa Bay Rays try to avoid three straight losses to the Baltimore Orioles in the penultimate game of this series on Sunday.
The Baltimore Orioles go for the series victory in Game 3 of this four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays on the road on Sunday afternoon. The start to this series has been surprising, considering that the Rays lead the AL East standings, and they came into this home series winning nine straight games on the road. They became only the second East Coast team in major league history to go 9-0 on their West Coast road trip with sweeps over the Colorado Rockies, Seattle Mariners, and Athletics. Tampa Bay had only lost one game in August before dropping the first two games of this series at home. These two division rivals will play again very soon, starting on Friday in Baltimore. Both games have been decided by one run, as the Orioles now lead the season series, 5-3. Now the O’s are going for their fourth win in their last five games. The good news for the Rays is that they are the -140 favorites to get back in this series and win Game 3. Tampa Bay is still 6.5 games up on the New York Yankees for the top spot in the division, as the Yankees have lost three straight. Tampa Bay will try to bounce back by starting their trade-deadline acquisition with Freddy Peralta. The righty is 5-9 with a 5.33 ERA in 123.1 innings. Baltimore will go for the series win by starting Trevor Rogers, who is 7-8 with a 4.21 ERA in 119.2 innings.

Baltimore won the opener on Friday 6-5, and won by a run again in Game 2, this time in 10 innings, 4-3. Tyler O’Neill was the hero on Saturday night for the Orioles. The right fielder hit a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the 10th that held up as the game-winner. It stalled a comeback attempt by the Rays, who tied the game in the bottom of the ninth off an infield RBI single by Junior Caminero to even send the game into extras. Tampa Bay was down 3-1 after Pete Alonso and Christian Encarnacion-Strand both hit solo homers in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively.
