ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Randy Arozarena hit his first career grand slam, Tampa Bay relievers threw seven no-hit innings, and the Rays handed the Baltimore Orioles their 15th consecutive road loss, 7-1 on Sunday.
The Orioles extended a dubious team record, the worst road skid since the club moved from St. Louis to Baltimore in 1954.
Arozarena made it 7-1 when he stopped a personal 19-game home run drought on his drive to center off César Valdez in the seventh.
“I'm very happy, especially for me to hit that ball out and I know for the team,” Arozarena said through an interpreter.
