 The Rays are 8-4 against the Orioles this season, averaging 6.25 runs per game. This marks the Tampa franchise's second-highest single-season scoring average against a division opponent, trailing only the 6.94 runs the 2008 team averaged also against the Orioles.

 In the last series, the Rays scored six runs in the sixth inning in the four games. On the season, Baltimore has permitted an MLB-worst 125 runs in the sixth -- the only inning this season the team has allowed more than 100 runs.

 Tampa leadoff hitters are batting .178 this month, second-worst in MLB behind the Cubs' at .167. The Rays entered August with a .309 average from their leadoff hitters -- the best in all of baseball.

 The Rays' Ryan Yarbrough will start the series opener -- his eighth appearance since the All-Star break. In his three starts in that span, Yarbrough has allowed no runs and eight hits while striking out 23 and walking none over 21 innings. In his four relief appearances, he's yielded nine runs and 16 hits with 18 strikeouts and two walks over 20 2/3 innings.

 Rays rookie Mike Brosseau is 7-for-16 (.438) with four homers, seven RBI and four runs in his five games against the Orioles. He is hitting .250 with one homer, eight RBI and 10 runs in his other 34 games.

 Baltimore's Jonathan Villar has five multi-hit games in his last seven contests and his 13 multi-hit games since July 25 are one behind the Yankees' Gio Urshela for the most in MLB. On the season, Villar has a 1.121 OPS in Baltimore's wins compared to a .642 OPS in its losses.

The visiting Tampa Bay Rays battled through a lot to win the opener of their four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. Tampa Bay hopes to have an easier time plus the same result when the teams meet again Friday in the second game.
The Rays fell behind 2-0 after just two batters in the bottom of the first inning, thanks mostly to two errors from shortstop Willy Adames on those first two plays.

Rays looking for less complicated route vs. Orioles

BALTIMORE (AP)  Clutch hitting. Strong starting pitching. Road wins.
Those are marks of a playoff contender, and the Tampa Bay Rays appear poised to benefit from each facet as they strive to reach the postseason for the first time since 2013.
