«Breaking News» Rays rout O's, who fall 60 games under .500

The Tampa Bay Rays keep hanging on the fringe of contending for an American League wild card spot, while the Baltimore Orioles reached a dubious level of futility.

Matt Duffy had two hits and two RBIs to lead the host Rays to a 10-5 win over the Orioles on Saturday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Rays stayed eight games behind Oakland for the second wild card spot, also trailing Seattle. Meanwhile, the Orioles fell to 60 games under .500 at 41-101.

The Rays jumped on the Orioles early, scoring four runs in the first to take a 4-0 lead.

Mallex Smith scored on a wild pitch from Baltimore starter David Hess (3-10), Ji-Man Choi hit a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0, Jake Bauers had an RBI single that made it 3-0 game and Willy Adames scored on a double-steal to give the Rays a 4-0 lead.

Joey Wendle had an RBI on a fielder's choice to give the Rays a 5-0 lead in the second before the Orioles cut their deficit to 5-1 in the third on an RBI infield single by Jonathan Villar.

Baltimore cut Tampa Bay's lead to 5-3 in the fourth on a two-run homer by Renato Nunez.

The Rays added two runs in the sixth when Adames scored on a wild pitch and Wendle hit a sacrifice fly.

Baltimore answered in the seventh, cutting the deficit to 7-5 on a two-run single by Villar.

But Tampa put the game away with three runs in the home half of the seventh.

A two-run single by Matt Duffy made it 9-5, and then an RBI single by Smith made it 10-5.

After right-hander Diego Castillo worked an inning as Tampa Bay's "opening" pitcher, Ryan Yarbrough (14-5) came on and got the win, despite allowing six hits, three runs and two walks in 3 2/3 innings.

The Rays used eight pitchers overall.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
