The Baltimore Orioles are back on top of the AL East after securing an easy victory against the Rays last night. The Os had a decent performance at the plate while contributing four runs. Zach Eflin was the player of the game as he rocked his former teammates with an incredible performance.
Eflin tossed seven innings with zero earned runs and seven strikeouts. The Os seem to have another strong ace to help them in the playoffs. Game 2 will have hard-throwing Corbin Burnes on the mound as their starter. Burnes has an outstanding 2.63 ERA with a 12-4 record.
The Rays were no match for their AL East opponent as they struggled from both ends. Zack Littell suffered the loss after surrendering three earned runs in five innings pitched.
Trending
Despite five strikeouts, Littell dropped his record to 5-8. It's been a tough season for the Rays and they seem to be accepting the fact that they might not make the playoffs.
Drew Rasmussen will be sent to the mound in Game 2. With a 20-10 record, Rasmussen has a decent 2.95 ERA. However, he's going up against one of the top-hitting teams and lacks the experience, especially against Burnes.
