BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles showed some unusual offensive punch on Friday night, and they hope to find some of that again Saturday in the third game of the four-game weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards.
The Orioles' offense has done better in stretches lately, and it came through big in a 15-5 victory on Friday. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who has been the subject of some recent trade rumors, homered in the victory on Friday night and now has hit a ball over the fence in five straight games.
