With the struggling Baltimore Orioles, plagued by injuries and poor pitching, coming to town, it looked like a good opportunity for the Tampa Bay Rays to pick up some wins against an Al East rival.
Things went very well on Friday night as the Rays banged out 11 hits and drew walks on their way to a 15-5 victory. Chris Archer gave the team six okay innings and they only needed Austin Pruitt to come in from the bullpen and toss three scoreless innings. The next two games were a different story.
