Embattled Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez’s bid to end the club’s stretch of 19 straight games of allowing at least five runs lasted all of two innings, and his second start back in the rotation didn’t extend much past that.
By the time he exited the game, the Orioles were well on their way to a 15-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, dropping them to 35-38 on the season and 11-24 on the road.
The Rays scored four times in a marathon first inning to start things off on a sour note for the visitors.
