 The Rays swept two games from the Orioles in Tampa on August 25 and 26 (4-2 and 4-3). Baltimore has won five straight home games against Tampa Bay dating back to the end of last season. The O's have scored at least five runs in each game of the streak while the Rays haven't scored five runs in any.

 The Rays split a two-game home set with the Nationals, dropping the second game in 10 innings (4-2). Today will be Tampa Bay's second doubleheader this season (August 8 versus NYY, 1-1 split). Texas and Cleveland are the only American League teams which have played fewer (one each).

 The Orioles took two of three games from the Braves at Camden Yards. Baltimore sandwiched 14-1 and 5-1 victories around a 5-1 loss. The losing team in the O's last seven games has scored one run or fewer and exactly one run in the last six games. Baltimore is 2-5 in those seven games.

 Dean Kremer will make his third career start for Baltimore. Kremer has struck out exactly seven batters and allowed one earned run in each of his first two games. The last Oriole to begin an MLB career with 14 strikeouts and two ER or fewer in their first two games was Tom Phoebus in 1966 (15 K, 0 ER).

 Blake Snell is 4-1 with a 3.23 ERA in nine starts this season. However, he has yet to pitch 6.0+ innings in any game so far. Over the previous two seasons, Snell registered a quality start (6.0+ IP and 3 ER or fewer) in 29 of 54 starts.

 Jose Iglesias had eight hits in the series against the Braves, his second eight-hit series this season (August 28-31 against Toronto). The last time an Oriole had two or more eight-hit series within Baltimore's first 50 games of the season was Adam Jones in 2014.

HP - Gibson, 1B - May, 2B - Fletcher, 3B - Wills

Teams often sweep a series during the baseball season, but the Tampa Bay Rays have a chance to pull off something unusual Sunday -- the completion of a five-game sweep over the host Baltimore Orioles.
The Rays have won the first four games of the series as they battle to lock up the American League East title. Tampa Bay's 3-1 win over the slumping Orioles on Saturday gave them a magic number of four for the division crown.

Rays aiming for rare 5-game sweep of Orioles

BALTIMORE (AP)  Denied a five-game sweep and a chance to lengthen their lead in the AL East, the Tampa Bay Rays took consolation in receiving another fine performance from a member of their impressive rotation.
John Means struck out  a career-high 12 in a pitching duel with Tampa Bay lefty Ryan Yarbrough, and the Baltimore Orioles stalled the Rays' push toward the division title with a 2-1 victory Sunday.
