The Baltimore Orioles demonstrated their resilience on Friday night by overcoming a 6-0 deficit against the Tampa Bay Rays, ultimately winning the game 22-8. This marked their first comeback victory of such magnitude since May 27, 2022, against the Boston Red Sox. The victory tied for the second-highest run total in franchise history. The Orioles showed offensive prowess, with notable contributions from Gary Sánchez, who hit the go-ahead home run, and Coby Mayo, who celebrated his first MLB home run. Despite a rocky start from rookie Tomoyuki Sugano, who allowed seven runs, the team's offensive resurgence was the highlight, with 21 hits and a total of 14 extra-base hits.

This win contrasts sharply with their recent struggles, including being no-hit by Jacob deGrom and failing to score effectively in previous matchups. The Orioles' aggressive baserunning and offensive strategy proved successful against one of the league's top pitchers. As they prepare for Saturday's game against the Rays, they'll need to maintain this momentum to stay competitive in the AL East.
