BALTIMORE (AP) — Hanser Alberto doubled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Tampa Bay 5-1 to complete a three-game sweep of the skidding Rays. Renato Núñez and Pat Valaika homered for the Orioles, who celebrated their first series sweep since Aug. 27-29, 2018, against Toronto, and first against Tampa Bay since 2016. Brandon Lowe homered for the Rays, who have dropped five straight.
