Orioles' rebuilding lineup awakening vs. Rays

BALTIMORE -- Even though the Baltimore Orioles are starting a major rebuilding process, they seem to have found something they've been missing all season -- offense.

The Orioles have scored 26 runs in the last two games, both of which they've won, and hope to continue their offensive success when they close their four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday at Camden Yards.

Baltimore has relied heavily on homers for the past several seasons, and the Orioles continue doing that this year. The Orioles took the lead in Saturday's 11-2 victory over Tampa Bay thanks to back-to-back homers from Trey Mancini and Joey Rickard.
