The Tampa Bay Rays unleashed a relentless offensive barrage on Friday night, dismantling the Baltimore Orioles 11-1 in a game that was over before it began. Yandy Díaz and Junior Caminero led the charge, combining for six hits, seven RBI, and three home runs—including Caminero's two-moon-shot performance that sent Tropicana Field into a frenzy. Díaz, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, crushed a towering homer in the third inning to break the game open, while Caminero's pair of blasts highlighted a night where the Rays' lineup made Orioles starter Charlie Morton pay for every mistake. Morton lasted just 5.1 innings, surrendering seven runs on eight hits, including three homers, as his ERA ballooned to 5.58.

Meanwhile, Taj Bradley silenced Baltimore's bats with six dominant innings of one-hit ball, striking out six without allowing a run. The Orioles' only bright spot came from Gunnar Henderson's two hits and Colton Cowser's perfect 3-for-3 night, but it wasn't nearly enough to counter Tampa Bay's onslaught. The lopsided loss drops Baltimore further back in the AL East race, while the Rays—sparked by their red-hot rookies and a resurgent Díaz—send a statement that their offense is hitting its stride at the perfect time.
