THE ORIOLES TOOK DOWN THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL, AND THEY MADE US SWEAT EVERY SECOND OF IT. Baltimore outlasted the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5 in a wild series opener, fighting through a ninth-inning scare to secure a massive win. Gunnar Henderson was unstoppable, going 4-for-4 and crushing the decisive two-run homer in the eighth inning. Dylan Beavers delivered a huge pinch-hit, two-run single, while Colton Cowser added a homer of his own. Chris Bassitt also gave the Orioles exactly what they needed in his first start since June 3. After battling back issues for more than two months, Bassitt worked 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball and allowed just one hard-hit single. Then came the chaos. Yennier Cano entered the ninth with a four-run lead—but Tampa Bay stormed back with three hits and a walk, bringing the tying run to base. Cam Sanders had to come in and get the final out to seal an absolutely nerve-racking Orioles victory. Luke Slabaugh reacts to the Orioles’ huge 6-5 win over the Rays, Gunnar’s monster night, Beavers’ clutch moment, Bassitt’s return, and whether this is the kind of win that can kickstart Baltimore’s Wild Card push.
