Orioles Clubhouse Podcast: 8-14-2026 Orioles vs Rays

The Orioles survived a dramatic Friday night finish at Tropicana Field, holding off the Rays 6-5 to end Tampa Bay's nine-game winning streak. Chris Bassett returned from the injured list and gave Baltimore a steady start, while Gunnar Henderson delivered a four-hit night and Dylan Beavers came through with a key pinch-hit single in the seventh. Baltimore added important insurance in the eighth, but the game still came down to a tense ninth inning. Cam Sanders entered in a high-leverage spot and needed just one pitch to record the save, helping the Orioles escape a late rally and climb to within one game of a postseason spot.
