Starter Zach Eflin left injured after one inning, the bats once again fell silent and the Orioles followed up their record night with a disappointing 11-3 loss to the Rays.
Coming off the high of a 22-8 win on Friday, Saturday’s game fell flat quickly as the O’s seemed out of it after the 1st inning. Eflin was laboring from the first batter of the game, as Josh Lowe led off the inning with a double slashed into the left-center gap. Brandon Lowe then got enough of an Eflin sinker, dropping a soft line drive into center to score Josh from second and give Tampa a 1-0 lead.
