Orioles vs. Rays, July 27

The Orioles host the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a four-game series at Camden Yards.

3rd & 7 37yd

Have been told that the #Orioles do have interest in Cuban OF Victor Victor Mesa, but there's question whether he's even eligible to sign yet. Still the fact that the O's would even be a factor for him is huge, huge, huge step toward investing in Latin American market.

The #Orioles intend to make a strong run at Victor Victor Mesa. The have been following him, will continue to do so while he attempts to gain free agency status and intend to be at his showcases when he’s cleared, according to a source.

The #Orioles plan to make a strong push to sign top Cuban prospect Victor Victor Mesa, and if you've followed the club's underinvestment in Latin America, you know this is kinda a big deal.

New Orioles prospect Dillon Tate feels 'slow, but sure' progress puts him on track for success dlvr.it/Qd1H4n https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DjJndDeU0AAn8V8.jpg

Dillon Tate comes to the Orioles, his third organization, a pitcher molded by the high expectations in Texas and some tweaks in New York. His progress has been "slow but sure," but he likes it that way. bsun.md/2An2CmS

I don't know if you can call it a TOOTBLAN if you slip off the base on a pickoff attempt and get accidentally tagged, but if you can, Mallex Smith just did it it.

#Orioles take a 2-1 lead in the fourth on Danny Valencia's single. Jones scores from second, barrel-rolling through home plate.

Davis is awarded home as well after errant throw from right. Umps rule ball was out of play. #Orioles up 3-1 for now, but play will be challenged and reviewed.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 7/28/2018 1:35:54 AM
Call stands. Davis scores. #Orioles up 3-1.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 7/28/2018 1:38:00 AM
I don't know why, but Chris Davis was just granted home plate. The Orioles lead 3-1. Replay review didn't change it.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/28/2018 1:38:04 AM
Rich Dauer gets a nice ovation when he is shown on the videoboard in the middle of the fifth inning. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 7/28/2018 1:52:19 AM
Jonathan Schoop with a blast to deep left field. #Orioles lead 4-1.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 7/28/2018 1:54:48 AM
Home run, Jonathan Schoop. He has homered in five straight games, and the Orioles lead 4-1.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/28/2018 1:55:13 AM
Jonathan Schoop just can't stop hitting home runs. Launches 0-2 pitch off Chris Archer for 16th homer of the season. He also has a 10-game hitting streak. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 7/28/2018 1:55:38 AM
Estimated 446 feet on the Schoop homer. Big boy homer. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 7/28/2018 1:56:01 AM
That's five straight games with a home run for Schoop. The last Oriole with homers in five consecutive games was Chris Davis June 6-12, 2016. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 7/28/2018 1:56:49 AM
It's the eighth time in ML history a second baseman has homered in five straight games, tying ML record. Last to do it was Brian Dozier in September of 2016. #orioles

Schoop has homered in five straight games. Last #Orioles player to do that was Chris Davis June 7-12, 2016. Eighth time in MLB history a second baseman has homered in 5 straight games. That is the record for 2B. Brian Dozier last one to do it in Sept. 2016

A pair of singles, a walk, and a sacrifice fly plate a run in Andrews Cashner sixth, but they get an out at second and he’s out of the inning on the next pitch. Orioles up 4-2

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/28/2018 2:11:35 AM
What a damning stat: When Andrew Cashner walked off the mound with a 4-2 lead on Friday night, it was the first time since April 5 that he left the game with more than three Orioles runs on the scoreboard. Wow. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 7/28/2018 2:22:09 AM
After two hits off Jonathan Schoop's glove, Danny Valencia dives to catch a foul bunt for the first out. Then Tim Beckham threw the back half of a DP attempt into the dugout, and a run scores. Orioles lead is 4-3.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/28/2018 2:25:41 AM
Per Statcast, this was the longest home run of the season for the Orioles.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/28/2018 2:32:16 AM
Caleb Joseph reached on an E6, advanced to second on a Tim Beckham infield single, and scored on a Jonathan Schoop single. The Orioles lead 5-3.
