The Baltimore Orioles (32-42) defeated the Tampa Bay Rays (41-34) 4-1 on Thursday night at Steinbrenner Field. With the win, the division rivals split the four game series.
The Rays took an early 1-0 lead in the third thanks to a RBI single from Danny Jansen, but Baltimore answered with a run in the fourth. The key moment came in the sixth when Colon Cower hit a three-run home run that would prove to be the difference.
The Rays now stay at home and prepare for a three-game series against the Tigers beginning on Friday night. First pitch Friday is scheduled for 7:05 PM - pregame coverage begins with Ronnie Lane hosting the Inside Pitch at 6:00 PM on 95.3 WDAE & AM 620.
