Rays beat Orioles on passed ball in bottom of ninth
Tampa Bay had never won a game that ended like this.
Nick Hundley's passed ball with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning yesterday gave the Rays a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Playing its 2,733rd regular-season game, Tampa Bay won for the first time on a game-ending passed ball, according to STATS. Baltimore had not lost on a walk-off passed ball since at least 1974, STATS said.
"It's tough to lose a game because I don't catch the ball," Hundley said. "I can't remember the last time I just flat-out missed it."
Rays starter Drew Smyly, who gave up one run in six innings, is 3-1 with an 1.70 ERA in seven starts since being acquired from Detroit for 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner David Price.
Angels 8, Twins 5: Albert Pujols homered and hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the ninth inning for his 2,500th hit for visiting Los Angeles. Pujols hit a solo homer in the third off Phil Hughes, scoring his 1,500th run on his 25th home run this season.
