Orioles comeback falls short in 5-4 loss to the Rays

It was an exciting matinee ballgame today at the Trop, but the Orioles came out on the wrong side of a 5-4 final score. The Birds made a valiant effort to come back from a 5-0 hole dug by starter Jorge Lopez, but once the final out was recorded, they remained winless against the Rays this season.

Tampa jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first, courtesy of a series of ground balls. The inning started with a single by Brandon Lowe and a walk to Yandy Diaz. Then Lopez got a sacrifice fly out and a strikeout to come within one out of escaping the jam.
