The Orioles long, difficult weekend in Tampa came to an end on Sunday with a tense 5-3 win over the hosting Rays.
Jackson Holliday woke the offense up out of the chute. He stroked the second pitch of the day—a changeup down and in—and pulled it just beyond the fence in right-center field for an immediate 1-0 lead.
But the real fireworks took place in the third inning. That is the frame in which the Orioles scored three times and saw both their right fielder and their manager get ejected from the game.
Alex Jackson led the third inning off with a solo homer, his first as an Oriole and something of a revenge moment against his former club.
