The Baltimore Orioles tallied a win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, throttling the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-1. Starting pitcher Max Scherzer was a big reason for his team's success. The first-place Orioles, at 85-61, now lead their division by 6 games.

The Orioles got a big at-bat from second baseman Kolten Wong. For the game, Wong went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 13th home run of the season gave Baltimore a 3-0 lead.

"This was a good win for us," said Wong. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
