Rays Deal Orioles 6-2 Loss
The Tampa Bay Rays racked up a win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, bumping off the Baltimore Orioles, 6-2. Corey Kluber, who started for Tampa Bay, pitched effectively for his team. Kluber got the win, improving to 11-9. He allowed 9 hits and walked 0 over 9 innings. Kluber allowed 2 runs. The first-place Rays, at 100-58, now lead their division by 10 games.

Tampa Bay got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Austin Meadows. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Rays ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"I thought we played a nice game," Kluber told the Tampa Bay Daily. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
