BALTIMORE -- Jake Odorizzi tossed the Rays' sixth consecutive quality start and the bullpen survived a late scare in a 9-6 victory over the Orioles on Saturday night at Camden Yards.

The Rays' win, combined with a Twins' victory earlier in the night, mathematically eliminated the Orioles from postseason contention. The Rays remain five games back from the second American League Wild Card spot.

Tampa Bay entered the bottom of the ninth with a 9-1 lead after four runs in its half of the frame, but had to turn to closer Alex Colome after the Orioles cut their lead to three.
