Surging Orioles aim for the series sweep against the division-leading Rays in road trip finale
Winners of four of their last five games, the Baltimore Orioles head into Monday night’s series finale against the American East Division-leading Tampa Bay Rays in search of their first series sweep in a month. Tampa Bay owns the best record in the American League but has lost three in a row after winning nine straight in early August. The Orioles will send second-year right-hander Brandon Young (9-3, 3.33 ERA) to the mound looking for his second consecutive road win, while the Rays will counter with Shane McClanahan (9-6, 3.09 ERA), who makes his return from the Injured List after a back issue sidelined the 29-year-old Baltimore native since the end of July.

In his first season in Baltimore, O’s first baseman Pete Alonso leads the team in batting average, home runs and RBIs this season, and comes into Monday night on an eight-game hitting streak. Alonso, the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year, spent seven years with the Mets before inking a massive free agent contract with Baltimore in the offseason, posting 27 home runs and 80 RBIs in his first 124 games, and is now three dingers away from his sixth straight season with 30 or more homers.
On a seven-game hit streak, Rays left fielder Chandler Simpson ranks third in Major League Baseball, hitting a team-leading .309 at the plate, including a blistering August where he has tallied nine multi-hit games.
