Orioles aim for sweep against Rays with Shane Baz on the mound

The Baltimore Orioles host the Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards today at 1:35 PM ET, seeking to complete a three-game sweep. Following previous victories in the series, the Orioles improved their record to 8-4 against the AL East leaders this season. Shane Baz, a former Ray, will pitch for Baltimore, looking to overcome a lack of run support in recent outings. He previously excelled in two starts against the Rays, allowing just one run combined. Nick Martinez counters for Tampa Bay, currently in a slump but up for a challenging matchup in his first visit to Camden Yards since 2015. The game is crucial for the Orioles' playoff push as they aim to improve their 63-67 record.
