— Orioles 3, Rays 2 (10)
Dylan Beavers hit a walk-off double to end the game.
It was actually a home run, but because everyone acts like a 9-year old these days, his teammates mobbed him and he never touched third base or home plate, reducing it to a double and only one RBI, not two.
Too bad; it would’ve been Beavers’ fourth game in a row with a home run.
