Nick Johnson is the surprising hero of the night; Orioles defeat Rays to open up three-game set
I’m not sure what is happening with the Orioles; however, they are finding ways to win, and Friday night was another example of it.

If there was a must-win game in May, this might have been it as the Orioles and Rays were tied...

Arencibia was the trendsetter with this golden production. On Monday, Rays utilityman Elliot Johnson threw his hat in the ring.
