Baldelli gives Rays Walk-Off Victory


The Tampa Bay Rays have been extraordinary this year, proving this once again on Saturday night by coming back and defeating the Baltimore Orioles 10-9. Designated hitter Rocco Baldelli connected with a walk-off double off Orioles' reliever Rocky Cherry in the bottom of the 9th inning, after the Rays gave up their one run lead during the top of the inning.

Rays starter Andy Sonnastine didn't impress, lasting a career worst 3 1/3 innings while surrendering 5 earned-runs. Still, if Tampa can find a win without getting strong starting pitching as they usually do, more power to them.

The Good: Orioles' RF'er Nick Markakis who had a 4-5 night with a HR
The Bad: Rays closer Dan Wheeler, blowing his 3rd save of the year
