BALTIMORE — Rays starter Corey Kluber didn’t get hit hard on Monday night, but he got hit enough for the Orioles to roll to a 5-1 victory.
It marked the Rays’ third straight loss in four games after the All-Star break, a disappointing turn after they won six of seven going in. They dropped to 52-44.
Kluber worked five innings, allowing five runs, including four in a messy fifth inning. All seven hits were singles, two on bunts. And a Rays defensive miscue factored into the Baltimore rally.
