When your baseball team scores eight runs in a single inning, you don’t expect to be miserable so quickly in the same game. But that’s what happened to the Orioles tonight. They exploded for eight runs in the second inning, knocking the Rays’ starter out after he had recorded just four outs in the game.
But starter Trevor Rogers was terrible, as were the relief pitchers. And, outside of the second inning, so was the offense. The end result was a 12-8 loss in which the Rays scored 12 unanswered runs and the Orioles failed to record a hit after the second inning.
