Hunter Feduccia hits 1st MLB home run and Rays sweep Orioles with a 5-3 win
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Richie Palacios hit a go-ahead single, Hunter
Feduccia homered and the Tampa Bay Rays used a four-run eighth inning to
complete a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 5-3 win on Wednesday.
Jonathan Aranda tied the game 3-3 in the eighth inning with a two-run double to
centerfield that scored two runners. Palacios followed up with his single to
take the lead before stealing second, which allowed Ryan Vilade to steal home
and cap the scoring.
Feduccia had the game's first run on a 421-foot shot to centerfield in the
second inning. It was his first career homer in 182 plate appearances.
Jesse Scholtens (5-2) pitched four innings, giving up two runs on six hits
while striking out four for the win.
The Orioles tied the game in the third on a Pete Alonso RBI single. Alonso then
added his ninth home run of the year in the sixth, and Samuel Basallo followed
with a homer of his own to put Baltimore ahead 3-1.
Anthony Nunez (2-1) took his first loss of the year after blowing his second
save. He pitched 2/3 innings and surrendered four runs on three hits.
Ian Seymour got his second save of the season.
Tampa Bay moved to 9-0 against AL East opponents at home this season. Baltimore
has played seven road games against AL East foes this season and is 0-7.
